Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

My Lords, I want to say again how obviously successful the negotiations with the noble Lord, Lord Low, and his various helpers have been. Clearly, great advantages arise from what he has achieved. I particularly reinforce the point of the noble Baroness, Lady Garden, concerning Amendment 143A. If 87 per cent of colleges are in fact funding transport needs themselves, it is clear that there will have to be some additional tightening up. Perhaps the Minister will address that. That aside, I think that a great deal has been achieved and it says a lot for the amount of time that people have put into this matter during their holiday period.
