Proceeding contribution from Meg Hillier (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I am driven to rise to my feet again. In Hackney in my constituency, we have a new city academy, to which the Secretary of State referred. It is fully comprehensive and the rich, whom the right hon. Member for Wokingham (Mr. Redwood) mentioned, want their children to get into it. It is full of children from a diverse range of backgrounds, including poor backgrounds, and is representative of my constituency. That is the sort of school that Labour Members want to see more of. I challenge the hon. Member for Bognor Regis and Littlehampton (Mr. Gibb) to say whether he really wants that as well.
