Proceeding contribution from Baroness Perry of Southwark (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

My experience is that the inventive local authorities have created a whole range of alternative possibilities—not necessarily PRUs at all, in answer to my noble friend’s question. Young people are sent off to do various kinds of community service and to join in camping activities, Outward Bound activities and so on. Many of those schemes work well, and I hope we will keep the wording as broad as possible in the Bill to allow for that kind of inventiveness.
