Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 25 June 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.

Education and Skills Bill

I am distressed to hear that the noble Baroness, Lady Howe, does not have a level 3 qualification. I have a practical suggestion: we should accredit for level 3 attendance at your Lordships' House, which is one of the most demanding activities that you could possibly undertake in terms education or training. She would have so many level 3 qualifications that she would not be able to count them. Having gone through the whole ladder of qualifications up to PhD, I engage in no activity more demanding than having to prepare for debates here, so I think that she would qualify.
