Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) 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 thank the noble Lord for moving his amendment. There are those who think that the Welsh should be confined to Wales and the Scots to Scotland. I am not one of them, I hasten to assure the House. I live in Wales, not very far from the border, and am aware that many young people live on the border. We go to one side of the border or another for various public services, including our local hospital, which although it is in Wales gets a lot of people from across the border in England. That happens in this part of the country. I should be grateful for the noble Lord’s clarification on the position of someone living near the border in England who may wish to carry out apprenticeship requirements just over the border in Wales.
