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 looking for inspiration on one of the questions. In considering and consulting with others about the appropriate penalty, we will take into account the wider context of the income available to young people at the time, including through financial support. On instalments, we have said that that should be possible and that we will use our regulation powers to provide for it. As I understand it, it is not possible for fines to escalate in the way the noble Baroness is concerned about. I stress for the record that we will be happy to work with Barnardo’s and all stakeholders concerned about the interests of young people to ensure that the system works and is fair and appropriate given the financial resources of young people. On Question, amendment agreed to.
