Proceeding contribution from Lord Brady of Altrincham (Conservative) 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
Thankfully, common sense prevailed in the Ripon ballot. I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on at least demonstrating a greater commitment to democracy than the hon. Member for Harrogate and Knaresborough (Mr. Willis), but given his belief that there should be a role for ballots and for democratic choice, why does he not have the courage of his convictions? Why does new clause 39 not allow the balloting process to be available to parents in areas containing comprehensive schools that are failing?
