Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (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

My Lords, I am very grateful for that amendment. The only point that the noble Baroness did not answer—whether we will go for competition in the provision of key stage examinations et cetera—we shall come to again later when I shall try to demolish the QCDA with the same abandon as this Government tried to abolish the office of Lord Chancellor. That power of the QCDA could suddenly reappear, which may not be entirely desirable. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 240 withdrawn.
