Proceeding contribution from Baroness Garden of Frognal (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My Lords, I shall not respond to all the points made in this useful debate but I would draw out one particular aspect. The noble Baroness, Lady Morris, spoke about previous guidance which did not seem to make much difference. One thing that has come out of this consultation was that previous guidance was over 600 pages long; this is 50 pages long. Equally, the guidance on the use of force has decreased from 30 pages to seven. There is an argument that this, much more succinct guidance might be more effective. We can only hope so.
