Proceeding contribution from Paul Farrelly (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 thank my right hon. Friend for giving way. I am sure that he does not want to discuss the issue of ballots completely out of context. That context is a package of safeguards that we are reasonably seeking in respect of a very important change to a school’s status. Concerns have been expressed about the composition of governing bodies. The Bill stipulates that trusts can appoint a majority of trustees to the governing body, and there is a maximum percentage for LEA-appointed governors. Will my right hon. Friend consider tabling in the other place an amendment stipulating a minimum percentage of elected parent governors on a trust school’s governing body?
