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 my answer, I pointed out that we also have to manage the question of raising the participation age from 17 from 2013 and 18 from 2015. There is a balancing act to achieve there. We are absolutely committed to sustaining the 6 per cent that we have at the moment. If we can make further progress then, of course, we will—but we cannot ignore the scenario. It is a very important step forward in raising the participation age.
