Proceeding contribution from Rob Marris (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sutherland Inquiry.


Sutherland Inquiry

The QCA appears to have failed, and it seems that it is going to be transformed into two quangos. The Learning and Skills Council seems—to me and many others, and I think to the Government—also to have failed, and it is to be transformed into three quangos. One of them will rejoice in the initials ““SFA””, and one wonders what it will do. I am confused about the approach adopted by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills as, when quangos fail, they seem to be replaced by new and more quangos. Can the Secretary of State explain that to me?
