Education and Skills Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Layard (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Education and Skills Bill.
My Lords, my noble friend and I are delighted with that reply and extremely grateful to the Minister for the undertaking. It is wonderful news for young people and illustrates, if I may say so, two of the strengths of this Government: their willingness to listen and their commitment to offering the best possible chance to every young person in the country. I thought that, without a guarantee, one could not call this a landmark Bill. With it, however, one certainly can. On that basis, I am happy to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
