Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) 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

The YPLA has a rather difficult remit anyway. It is supposed to drive up participation without being in any way directly involved in the provision of education, and it is supposed to be involved in equipping the workforce with the right skills without having any direct connection with employers. It is altogether an odd and strange animal. I note too that the term "demand-led" in this amendment is pejorative, but in the previous amendment it was approbative. It was hymned by the noble Baroness in her reply to the amendment of my noble friend Lord Hunt. Perhaps the Government are also confused about what is going on here.
