Business question from Iris Robinson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 March 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House find time to discuss the serious matter of this Government’s and the Department of Education’s duplicity in their treatment of the state-controlled and Catholic-maintained sectors in Northern Ireland? They are closing those categories of schools due to falling rolls, but they are allowing, through a charitable trust—which happens to be funded by the Department of Education—the building of new, integrated schools. That will have catastrophic effect on the sectors to which I have referred, which are already struggling in terms of pupil numbers. - No.
