Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

Part of the debate – in a Public Bill Committee at 10:43 am on 3 March 2009.

Alert me about debates like this

Richard Wainer: There is a lot more work to do to achieve that aim than just what is in the Bill, but we support the move to the Skills Funding Agency, and the desire for it to be more demand-led. I think that that will be in the medium to long term. There will be disruption over the next year or so, and our concern is to ensure that the front-line delivery that employers experience remains good. There is a lot more to do to ensure that the system is in place than just getting rid of the LSC and creating the Skills Funding Agency, but this is a step in the right direction.
