There is some merit in Amendment 21, but that is arguing for an executive agency. My preference would be for something closer to Amendment 33 in respect of being clear that we want a statutory body. Those are just things for my noble friend the Minister to reflect on. I would encourage noble Lords to not move their amendments and allow the Minister time to reflect, but it is important that she hears all our views on how important it is to set up Skills England to succeed.
