Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 October 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

As I understand it, there will be one capital programme for further education, which will be divided between the SFA and the YPLA. Since the SFA is not an NDPB, it will not receive a remit letter. How will this be dealt with as regards the SFA? If the programme is to be shared with sixth-form colleges, there will be yet a third player. Will whatever letter goes to each of the bodies ensure an effective co-ordination mechanism, to make sure that they are all singing from the same hymn sheet? When there are three authorities, the great danger is that something will fall between the stools and not be addressed.
