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
—apart from Finland, which is a small country of 5 million people with no large urban areas. From all over the world, the message is that competition and choice work. The particular problem that I have with the Bill, as my colleagues know, is with regard to faith schools, particularly the ban on interviews. I know that many Labour Members in particular do not like the idea that schools have the right to interview parents. I know that it is said that that is just a small problem now.
