Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 16 June 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.


Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I also welcome this group of amendments. It is essential that we know what the Bill is about. I shall listen with great interest to the Minister’s reply to the noble Baroness’s question of how you carry on if you give an entitlement to something that does not exist. We have to agree on what we are offering an entitlement to. It seems to me that we cannot escape the necessity to define. The debate must surely be about what the definition is; it is not a case of whether my noble friend’s amendment should be accepted but of the modification that would make them acceptable.
