Proceeding contribution from Baroness Verma (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister and all noble Lords who have spoken. On understanding information, it is really important to include personal interaction so that young people can raise issues and concerns that are not always addressed through the internet. I am disappointed that the Minister will not consider further an all-age careers service. I think that we are missing a great opportunity to respond quickly and flexibly to career changes and opportunities, especially when young people will make several different choices throughout their working life. I will consider carefully the Minister’s comments. On that basis, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 22 [Financial penalty for contravention of section 21]:
