Proceeding contribution from Frank Dobson (Labour) 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
As I understand it, the national policy of the Conservatives, as enunciated by their new, old Etonian leader, is not to have selection by ability for secondary schools. We can understand that a self-proclaimed Conservative wants to maintain the status quo in Kent—that is what Conservatives do—but what is the logic of saying that they are against selection by ability everywhere in the country except where there are grammar schools already? It is postcode selection.
