Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (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

The noble Baroness’s points are well made and she has a strong depth of experience with which to make them. The point we are trying to make in this short debate is that this is about allowing a risk-based approach and a degree of attention to qualifications whereby, in exactly the awarding bodies she refers to where the processes are A* rated, using a risk-based approach means you would not need the kind of detailed scrutiny that currently exists where every individual qualification has to be accredited. That is what we want to move away from; we want to move towards exactly the system she has described, in which all those characteristics can be taken into account.
