Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

My Lords, when Hansard comes out tomorrow, I shall cut out the speech made by the noble Baroness, Lady Sharp, and pin it on my wall so that I at last have an explanation of how the system is proposed to work. Listening to her, not being a historian, I was reminded of a recipe for cooking capercaillie, where you go through endless stages to remove the overpowering stench of pine needles and to render the incredibly tough flesh delicate. The last step is always to throw it in the dustbin.
