Education: Development of Excellence

Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 18 October 2012. It occurred during Debate on Education: Development of Excellence.

I am grateful to the Minister for giving way, and I appreciate that he has to get through his prepared speech, but I should point to his absence of reference to the fact that Alan Milburn has recommended that the Government reverse their policy on the abolition of the education maintenance allowance. Alan Milburn stated that that creates a difficulty in terms of,

“helping poorer 16- to 17-year-olds stay on at school”.

What about that group?
