Children and Social Work Bill [HL]

Debate between Baroness Walmsley and Lord Watson of Invergowrie

Wednesday 13th July 2016 Grand Committee

[Baroness Walmsley]

My Lords, I did not get an answer to my question about which Secretary of State it would be. Strangely enough, although Clause 21 refers to “Secretary of State” in the singular, in his response the Minister talked about Secretaries of State. Will he clarify whether we are talking about the Secretary of State for Education and the Secretary of State for Health in agreement? If so, what will happen if they do not agree?

[Lord Watson of Invergowrie (Lab)]

Today’s edition of Written Statements and Answers contains an Answer to a Question that I put down on social work training. It is from the noble Lord, Lord Prior of Brampton. Why is that?
