Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (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
: I was a head teacher when the right hon. and learned Gentleman was Secretary of State, and I know just how effective those Conservative policies were at dumbing down standards—[Interruption.] I had to get out. He has made some serious points in trying to drive more Labour rebels into the Opposition Lobby, but will he tell me where the evidence comes from that more parents want the powers that are now outlined in the Bill and which Baroness Thatcher and others wanted from 1983 to 1987?
