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 welcome the Government’s amendments, which reflect concerns raised by the Constitution Committee. It is very important for employers—and I speak as one—to know exactly where they stand. It is crucial that they are able to appeal fines imposed on them under these clauses. I am pleased that the Government have taken on board the widespread concern that provisions in the Bill risk adding to the burdens that small businesses must carry. However, I reiterate my concern about the necessity for a system of fines and penalties at all.
