Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Education and Inspections Bill.


Education and Inspections Bill

Before the right reverend Prelate responds and, I presume, withdraws the amendment, I have one point to make on my amendment. As I understand it, the Minister said that the governing body will have to undertake the agreement that it already had on PFI, and it is liable for the costs. Is there any mechanism for preventing the upward pressure on costs that might result from this break-up of the school system, so that PFI private sector partners no longer have an opportunity for an exclusivity arrangement with the local authority? Is there any way in which the school can resist upward pressure on the PFI costs?
