Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Charities Bill [HL].
Charities Bill [HL]
I, too, was very attracted by what the noble Lord, Lord Campbell-Savours, said. I think that he was advocating education vouchers, which is a welcome innovation from that side of the House. The difficulty with picking on Eton—I rather agree with him about that—is that you are also picking on every little PTA around the country. Most of these school-oriented education charities are essentially parents helping their own children. If you do not allow it for Eton, then you do not allow it for your local primary school.
