Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for that encouraging reply. It is good to hear about the work that his department is undertaking. I think that I heard the noble Lord, Lord Avebury, talk about the demise of specialist Gypsy, Roma and Traveller education services. Maybe the Minister briefly said something about that at the end of his response but, I am sorry, I did not quite catch it. If he could clarify what is going on with those services, I would be grateful. I apologise if I misled the Committee in any way by describing myself as ““teaching”” this boy. I was running workshops in a school environment. I am not a teacher; I should make that quite clear.
