Sue Dutton: The provisions in the Bill as outlined are the right way forward. I think the House of Lords last year made the right observation when it said that insufficient independent advice is given to all young people who are making significant decisions about post-16 education. The Connexions service has at the moment a differential effect across the country. That is one of the problems with it. It is not necessarily the case that one gets the same advice—the same choice of advice—in all localities. The provisions in the Bill will certainly aid the opportunities of young people to receive that information on an impartial basis.
