Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Education and Inspections Bill.

Education and Inspections Bill

I hope the question I am about to ask has not already been asked; I apologiseif it has. The wife of a friend of mine teaches in a primary school in Sheffield. She has a class of32 children to manage. She has two classroom assistants, but they are taken up by two or three of the most difficult children. A number of the children have statements, and a number should have statements but do not. Dealing with such a large class is an immense pressure on her and her family. It would be helpful to hear what steps the Minister and his colleagues are taking to reduce class sizes, perhaps in certain areas.
