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

It will be sustained and, unless my numeracy skills are wrong—I hope that they are not—we have said that we have achieved an 8 per cent reduction. I hope that I have got this right. So it is 6 per cent, actually. Sometimes I worry about my own numeracy skills, but I thought I could manage 8 from 14. So the straight answer is yes, it has been narrowed to a 6 per cent gap, and we are committed to sustaining that. Definitely.
