Proceeding contribution from Edward Leigh (Conservative) 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

That may arise from the situation where both the Secretary of State and the Prime Minister send their children to state schools in inner London. That is not my problem, is it? The hon. Gentleman must put that question to his own colleagues. I can speak only from my personal experience of my constituency and of London. I do not know a lot about Liverpool. I apologise. I cannot speak about it. It is much better in the House to speak from one’s own experience. To those who knock the London Oratory, all I can say is that it is a school that gets a huge, diverse social mix. It is a school that works. It draws pupils from 40 boroughs.
