Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

That is not my reading of Clause 57. Clause 57(1) specifically states: "““Relevant information about a pupil or student who is attending an educational institution in England must be provided by the responsible person””." That is about the provision of information, not the use of information thereafter; that is, accessing databases and so on. I understood the noble Baroness to raise the issue of the use of the information—who has access to that database and can use it. Of course a school must provide information in the circumstances set out. It will be one of the main providers of information because most of the students, I am glad to say, will be at school.
