Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 15 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

The noble Lord and my noble friend have almost equal, and certainly opposite, passion about this. I wonder whether there may be some compromise and whether it would be possible for the provisions to which the noble Lord objects to be implemented by an affirmative order when it is decided that the market failure that he predicts has taken place. An affirmative order would give both Houses a chance to consider whether the market had failed, and for those affected by the decision to make their views known to Parliament.
