Clause 46
Education and Skills Bill
3:45 pm
David Laws (Shadow Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families, Children, Schools and Families; Yeovil, Liberal Democrat)
I shall say no more other than that amendment No. 83 was tabled by the Liberal Democrats and that we want the Government to put a commitment in the Bill that gives the person an entitlement to advocacy for the reasons that we discussed earlier. It will be interesting to hear the Minister’s response to that proposal. Given that he considered for a while the possibility of granting advocacy for a particularly vulnerable group of young people, we are interested to hear his views about the wider cohort.
