Proceeding contribution from Lord Baker of Dorking (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 10 July 2006. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Education (Northern Ireland) Order 2006.


Education (Northern Ireland) Order 2006

My Lords, before the noble Lord sits down, perhaps I may ask him a question. He wishes to abolish grammar schools in Northern Ireland—that is a position to take—so why is it that he has not supported policies to abolish grammar schools which are run by Liberal councils and which have been run by them in the past? Is it now the Liberal policy to abolish those grammar schools in England?
