Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

My local council and all the MPs for the area will work with any Government to improve standards, which are, indeed, improving in Southwark at the moment. However, can the Secretary of State promise that when the Bill is law, no one who contributes, say, £2 million out of a total cost of £20 million to a new school, as a partner, will be able as a result to buy a majority say on the board of the new school?
