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 Minister. He encourages me again to try to make the point that I was going to make a moment ago. The noble Lord relies, in his approach, on his hope that, in the future, the credibility and understanding of what an apprentice means will be so general that there will be no need to put the FE college, or almost anything else, on the certificate. That is a hope. It may well be that, in time, employers and anybody else will understand sufficiently what the standard of an apprenticeship certificate means. Until that time, it would really be helpful to employers to know where training took place.
