Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 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 that case, I just want to put into the Minister’s mind a disturbing thought. My noble friend said that one could not expect civil servants to do other than what they are told by their Minister, but the advice that he has been given, that a power should go into this Bill to make directions, has come from those civil servants. There may be something afoot in his department that he is not aware of. Amendment 170 withdrawn. Amendment 171 had been retabled as Amendment 169ZD. Schedule 4 agreed. Clause 80 : Apprenticeship functions Amendments 172 and 173 not moved. Clause 80 agreed. Clause 81 : Apprenticeship training for persons aged 16 to 18 and certain young adults Amendment 174 not moved. Amendment 174A had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List. Amendment 175 not moved. House resumed.
