Proceeding contribution from Baroness Morgan of Drefelin (Labour) 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 am more than happy to write in detail to the noble Baroness, answering her questions in full. However, my main point is that in the Bill the whole emphasis on enforcement is to create a power not a duty. We are very much expecting local authorities to take a balanced and proportionate approach to this whole question of enforcement. I appreciate that we have tabled some fairly lengthy new clauses on this and we are pleased to respond to the Committee’s concerns in full. I hope very much that I can answer all the noble Baroness’s questions in detail and copy that answer to the rest of the interested Peers. On Question, amendment agreed to.
