Business of the House

Cheshire county council, under a review that is euphemistically called ““Transforming Learning Communities””, proposes to close one secondary school and at least two successful, buoyant primary schools in villages in my constituency. I should like a debate on the fact that Cheshire county council has placed a gag on the head teachers and teachers in those schools for speaking up for their schools while the review continues. That is an abrogation of their democratic rights and an affront to their civil liberties. Will the Leader of the House grant me a debate on that next week?
