Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.

Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

Could the hon. Gentleman wait for me to finish my point? There is an argument that we should have a more robust and independent qualifications authority—a regulatory body that has teeth. I am one of those who believes that we have to wait for such things to develop over time. I shall wait to see whether the person appointed to lead Ofqual on a permanent basis has the robust character that will make the organisation what it can and should be.
