Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.

Education and Skills Bill

There is no amendment to withdraw; we are debating clause stand part, so I feel that I can continue without objection. I say to the Minister that, when she sends out the powerfully convincing document that she will need to head off difficulty later on, it would be helpful if she explained what is meant in the Bill by ““a devolved authority””, because it calls up to the lay reader an amorphous body of people with a Parliament and an Administration. Presumably somewhere there will be a definition clause that says who within the devolved authority is entitled to have the information, otherwise my noble friend and I will not be at all reassured by anything else that she says.
