Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) 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

It is not the fee structure, it is that we have devolved powers. The differences between England and Wales include: key skills in Wales instead of functional skills in England; no personal learning and thinking skills in the Welsh framework; and a Welsh baccalaureate qualification. We cannot ignore the fact that it has the devolved powers to do that. It is not about fee structure; it is the fact that we have devolved powers, and that we have defined the authority that is going to specify the apprenticeship standards—one for England and one for Wales.
