Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

I have no wish to delay the House, but the Minister cannot be allowed to get away with that. The noble Baroness’s question was about 16-to-19 year-olds in schools, but he gave an answer about access to higher education, which is the next phase. The concerns expressed during this debate by the noble Baroness, Lady Nye, were about the abolition of the education maintenance allowance. What is his response?
