Skills and Post-16 Education Bill [HL]

I am sorry—I know that the point has been made—but I find this an extraordinary approach to legislation. Everything that

the Minister has said so far has given examples of things that the Government are doing that are compatible with the amendments that we are discussing. She has not raised a single objection in principle to either of the amendments, but she has been given a brief saying that it is not necessary to legislate. What harm is done by legislation, given that so many Governments in the past have, in the end, fallen rather short of their agreements in principle?
