Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.

Education Bill

My Lords, we will be withdrawing Amendments 145B, 145C and 145E. However, we have some sympathy with the point just made by the noble Baroness, Lady Jones. If the 2008 Act is narrowed down merely to Sections 1 to 10, there are some real problems as that leaves out the whole infrastructure which supports the raising of the participation age. The following sections are about not just criminal penalties but providing the infrastructure and giving young people the duty to participate. We need to back that up by the means to help them participate, so we very much support the noble Baroness on that point.
