Proceeding contribution from Jon Trickett (Labour) 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

On the very point about community schools and the Secretary of State’s veto, is it not a fact that clause 2 builds in a presumption against community schools, because it clearly says that LEAs will be obliged to secure diversity of provision and"““increasing opportunities for parental choice””?" That being the case, is it not obvious that councils will be obliged to create non-community schools in order to provide the very diversity that will be a statutory duty if the Bill becomes an Act?
