Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) 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, for about 15 seconds, I thought that noble Lords had brought about a transformation in Lib Dem education policy but, alas, the noble Baroness was quick off the mark and made it clear that that welcome change has not taken place. However, I know that the IGCSE is very dear to the noble Lord’s heart and that of other noble Lords. As he knows, we commissioned the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority to look at the whole issue of the IGCSE. It has published a report and consulted. We are considering the results of that consultation now and I hope that we will have more to say soon.
