Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 November 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Skills for Growth.


Skills for Growth

May I welcome this statement and, in particular, the Minister's words about the development of skills accounts? Does he agree that the two essential elements of that development are an extension of the number and range of providers and the passage of information, control, power and, above all, choice to the would-be consumers—that is, the trainees? These are the very elements that have driven an increased and enhanced performance in the health service. Does he expect the same sort of improvements in education and training?
