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

Maybe those schools want to protect their ethos. Up to a few years ago, they could interview on the basis of the general ethos of the school. What is wrong with a school wanting to protect its ethos? What is wrong with giving a Catholic school or a Jewish, Muslim or Anglican school a chance to protect its ethos? I heard a sotto voce intervention suggesting that the schools were just trying to select. That is not true.
