Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 2 July 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

That makes it much more difficult to imagine what will happen if the young person in question decides that he does not like Hampshire but there is a good course in Devon and he goes to take it up. Is the place cancelled at some cost to Hampshire and is his place in Devon paid for by Cornwall? I realise that all this is to be set out in a letter, but I am trying to tell the noble Lord what we would like his letter to contain. The noble Lord might also take a look at Hansard because he started by saying of Clause 43 that it is about the exercise of a power which the local authority already has. I thought that that is what I heard him say, and it does require some elucidation. If the authority already has the power, it does not seem necessary to confer it again.
