Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) 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

In respect of the noble Lord’s first point, while we intend to say that ““first preference first”” systems are poor practice, we do not intend to rule them out entirely. This will be a matter for the adjudicators to decide. In point of fact though, adjudicators have largely ruled against such admissions criteria where they have been used. We would expect that trend, if I can put it that way, to continue and to be strengthened by the new code.
