Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 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 grateful to the noble Baroness for her considered reply, which I shall read tomorrow with care. I am disappointed that she does not think that anything is needed nationally. Perhaps that means that she is not proposing in the next Session to bring forward any great national requirements on home educators. That would be good news, but I do not expect that to be the case. Many things that central government do have an effect on the home education community, not only as regards education but also as regards social security, health and in many areas in which regulations coming from the centre make life difficult for co-operation at local level. I see a role for continuing dialogue. I shall read what the noble Baroness has said but for now I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 311 withdrawn. Amendment 312 not moved. Clause 243 : Information about planned and actual expenditure Amendment 313 not moved. Clause 243 agreed. Clauses 244 to 247 agreed. Amendment 313A not moved.
