Proceeding contribution from Baroness Williams of Crosby (Liberal Democrat) 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
Where the desire is that faith schools should widen their access to children from poor families, ethnic minorities and disadvantaged backgrounds, I hope that the Minister will consider very carefully what the right reverend Prelate has said. This is an essential part of choice for such families; often the school will give them some of the assistance they need. I hope the Minister will consider that transport provision could rule out their attending faith schools even though they might qualify for free school meals.
