Proceeding contribution from Lord Young of Norwood Green (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My Lords, this is one of those amendments that speaks for itself so I do not intend to detain noble Lords long on this particular issue. Nevertheless, it is an important issue these days given the levels of redundancy and the need for people to retrain and reskill throughout their working lives. It is important that there is an assessment of the impact. It is difficult enough for people with disabilities to gain employment without any further impediments. Of course, there is the impact on women as well. I would welcome a response from the Minister.
