Proceeding contribution from Lord Dearing (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Children, Schools and Families.

Children, Schools and Families

My Lords, I apologise to the Minister for arriving half way through his Statement. I warmly welcome the Council for Educational Excellence under his chairmanship with the Prime Minister. I hope the terms of reference will not be ““lean””, but that they will be wide enough to encompass all issues of concern to the successful education of the child, which is the spirit of his department. On the membership of his council, in the light of what he said in his Sir John Cass memorial lecture, has the Minister thought whether there might be any advantage in having one or more overseas members, in the light of their successful achievements, from which we can probably learn?
