Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) 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

In answer to the noble Viscount, Lord Eccles, I think he is right that we have to ensure that project management skills are applied. I shall take that into consideration because it is a valid point. In response to the noble Lord, Lord Lucas, context is everything. As for "demand-led", we were dealing with a totally different scenario, which is why my noble friend extolled its virtues in that situation. There was probably nothing wrong with "demand-led" in this situation if it had been controlled and properly project-managed. I do not want to repeat myself. We understand the importance of the issues and we understand where the noble Baroness is coming from. We have undertaken to write with an outline of the remit letter and will take into account the importance of the two agencies working together. I hope, with those repeated assurances, that the noble Baroness will feel able to withdraw her amendment.
