Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I strongly support what the noble Lord, Lord Elton, is trying to do. It is bad enough, when you have a Bill that amends a lot of Acts, to require a pile of those previous Acts on your desk to find out what is being amended; it is even worse when you have to look forward several pages in the same Bill to find out what is being talked about. I hope that the Minister will take that back to those who draft these Bills and make it general practice. When people talk in acronyms, the first time that one appears, Hansard helpfully gives the full title. The same sort of principle should apply to the drafting of a Bill.
