Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) 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

Not all off-site educational provision is in the PRU category. I know that first-hand; I spoke recently to a number of local authorities that claimed not to have PRUs. I was fascinated, because I wondered how they provided for pupils whose behaviour required separate treatment. They have contracted-out or other arrangements with providers which may be able to provide specialist services in this regard, but which do not count as PRUs. My understanding is that that would be covered by these provisions too.
