Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

It has been a long day. I hope that with the comprehensive range of assurances that we have given, noble Lords will recognise our commitment to ensuring that people with disabilities or learning difficulties are not disadvantaged and that colleges do not in any way feel a disincentive as regards catering for those students. As we heard from the noble Baroness, Lady Sharp, many colleges are responding well to that challenge. However, there is no room for complacency, which is why we have included the extra measures that I have described. I hope that on the basis of those assurances, the noble Lord will feel able to withdraw the amendment.
