Proceeding contribution from Paul Robert Holmes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Schools White Paper.

Schools White Paper

Last year, the Education and Skills Committee published its report on school admissions. In 100 pages, it documented the failures of the admissions system under which a largely voluntary code of practice and largely powerless and weak LEAs were letting down children with special educational needs, those receiving free school meals and children in care. Can the Secretary of State explain how, in her brave new world of completely independent competing schools and completely powerless LEAs, those children will do anything but get an even worse deal?
