Education and Skills Bill

My Lords, I am extremely grateful to the Minister. I think we all agree about the importance of good-quality careers education backed up by information, advice and guidance. I am extremely grateful to the noble Baroness for the reassurances that she has given us on this and for the fact that the department will be working on it further and we shall be hearing about it in the Bill that comes forward in the next Session. The assurances in relation to schools forums are similarly well received. I am most grateful and beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
