Proceeding contribution from Baroness Teather (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

When we discussed this issue in Committee, I pointed out that there was no reason why faith criteria could not be taken into account. A letter from a priest could be appended to an application or a tick box could be added to the form to say what criteria were required. We welcome the Minister’s comments about pilots, but will he actively encourage them or is he simply trying to prevent us from voting against the Bill?
