Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) 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

moved Amendment No. 14: 14: Clause 2, page 1, line 18, after ““full-time”” insert ““or part-time”” The noble Lord said: My purpose in tabling the amendment was merely to have another opportunity to listen to the Minister, this time explaining to me in slightly greater depth than I understand why the period of 20 hours has been chosen, why there is an insistence on full-time education rather than a mix with part-time employment, and where he would put Alan Sugar and his van full of car aerials. In general, I look for enlightenment. I beg to move.
