Education and Inspections Bill

That is one form of the diversity that we want, but we also want diversity in structure that will help to create an even more diverse range of schools, which was, I thought, the objective set out in the White Paper. I thought, too, that it was the original judgment of both the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State about what was best for the education system. Indeed, on page 116, the White Paper states:"““We will also remove the right for local authorities to publish their own proposals for the establishment of new community schools.””" That was their judgment; it is the judgment of the Government and we share that view on the Conservative Benches.
