Abstract	The Leitch Review of Skills hit the scales at the end of 2006. It weighed in at 148 pages, with a plethora of recommendations for legislation, expenditure increases, administrative reorganization, quango creation and a new set of quantitative targets. The Leitch report promises a "demand-led" skills system which could reflect and respond to what people in the workforce recognize as valuable. The mantra is just that--a repeated set of words that do not connect with reality--because the actual recommendations are not for a "demand-led" system at all. In this article, the author argues that despite all the rhetoric about the creation of a responsive, "demand-led" system, the reality seems to be more and more central control. Demand, she argues, counts only when what is demanded is what the Government is prepared to provide. (ERIC).
