Education and Skills Bill

moved Amendment No. 1: 1: Clause 8, page 4, line 29, after ““learning,”” insert ““including a substantial amount of time spent away from the individual’s work station,”” The noble Lord said: My Lords, this amendment is crucial to the definition of ““education and training””, which in turn is crucial to the Bill. It is vital that the concept of education and training requires, "““a substantial amount of time spent away from the individual’s work station””." Unless the Government can ensure this, the Bill will be left with a fatal loophole. To plug it, we urge the Government to accept this amendment or to find another way of guaranteeing the same result. I beg to move.
