Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

I have described what happened. The balloting arrangements are deeply flawed: the hon. Gentleman and I agree on that. The hon. Member for Bury, North (Mr. Chaytor) has said that under his new clause the same arrangements would apply. If that is so, the same flawed system determining who can vote would be transferred to this Bill. I think it is appalling that the vast majority of people in the community surrounding a grammar school do not have a say, although it is their local school.
