Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (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

The hon. Lady is confusing me, because one moment she talks about devolving power locally, while the next she talks about making changes at a higher level. The Bill gives schools choice, and I point her to the example of Hackney, where strong political leadership has resulted in freedom for local schools along with a requirement to collaborate. If she believes in decentralisation, she should believe in the power of local government to get schools to work together.
