Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.

Education and Skills Bill

My hon. Friend follows such matters closely, and he will know that as a result of the White Paper we published this year, we have focused a lot more on these issues. We are interested in innovative approaches to improving provision, and we want to raise the overall quality of provision for those young people. It is precisely because of the measures we are taking to raise the participation age that we must not give up on any young person, even when they have made mistakes. We are ensuring that local authorities commission the right provision to get those people back on track.
