Review of Post-18 Education and Funding

Lord Beecham Excerpts

Tuesday 20th February 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Beecham (Lab)]

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

Again, they will be in scope in terms of making sure that the support we give to nurses, who are so important in our society, is there. That is within scope and it is noted.
