Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (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
Is my hon. Friend familiar with the work on the subject by Lord Adonis, the Prime Minister’s special adviser on education? He argues in his book ““A Class Act: Myth of Britain’s Classless Society”” that the abolition of grammar schools has had the effect that my hon. Friend describes. He disagrees with the hon. Member for Bury, North (Mr. Chaytor) about social mobility and makes the case that selective schools aid social mobility, a view supported by the work of the London School of Economics last year, which essentially concluded the same thing.
