Baroness Barran (Con)
I absolutely agree with the noble Baroness about the importance of oracy. My understanding is that there is some discretion, so that tutoring can be tailored to the individual needs of the child.
Lord Addington (LD)
My Lords, can the Minister give us some indication of the bureaucratic costs of delivering these courses outwith the schools? Surely, it would be better if the schools were co-ordinating these from their own resources?
Baroness Barran (Con)
To repeat myself, 230,000 out of almost 300,000 tuition courses are being delivered by the schools themselves.
