Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

We have not dismissed the importance of what the noble Baroness is saying; indeed, I stressed that I took it very much to heart. However, we do not believe that this is quite the right vehicle. What is contained in this and any arrangements that we need to make will be important in any consideration. I was simply making a plea in the circumstances and saying that we have listened to the debate, we have heard the concerns expressed across the Committee and we will take them away and give them serious consideration, even to the point of seeing whether the remit letter is sufficient to address all the concerns. It is in the light of that that I was asking the noble Baroness to consider withdrawing her amendment.
