Proceeding contribution from Earl of Onslow (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.
Education and Inspections Bill
The noble Lord, Lord Baker, produced some extremely interesting conditions in Muslim schools that had to be fulfilled, such as how many bits of the Koran pupils could recite, how much they knew, had they read it, et cetera. If they were to produce rules whereby girls had to wear the veil, how does one expect that non-Muslims would want to send their children there? It is that exclusivity that worries one. Will the Government make sure that those admission policies cited by the noble Lord, Lord Baker, and my hypothesis on the veil are not allowed, because that would be extremely exclusive and offensive to the host community?
