Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) 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, may I ask for an assurance from the Minister on a small detail? Many social work students will be studying part-time and if they are doing a degree-level qualification, that fee will be waived. It is very welcome that the Government are raising the threshold of entry into social work and it is now becoming more expected that students will have Level 3 qualifications, so I would appreciate a reassurance that they will not be charged when they are at further education college doing their Level 3 qualifications. It is a point of detail; maybe the Minister could write to me on that.
