Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) 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

It is supposed to lead on further and to be a gateway for those young people who are not ready for a course that leads to an accredited qualification. These young people may lack the social skills or study skills necessary to take part in training leading to an accredited qualification. Learning support contracts might provide them with a gateway to the very thing the Minister is hoping for. That is why we think they are so important. I thank the Minister for his further consideration and other Members for their support. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
