Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 6 October 2020. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Post-16 Education.


Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Post-16 Education

My Lords, this announcement is welcome—as far as it goes. It is logical to start with the unqualified, but what of the many with middle and higher-level skills who are being squeezed by technology and finding that universal credit is catastrophic for them and their families? They cannot fund their reskilling. Has the Government’s National Skills Fund got anything to offer the squeezed middle?
