Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Newcastle (Bishops (affiliation)) 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 greatly welcome the Minister’s Statement, in which there is so much to welcome with eager anticipation. I have a couple of small points. One of the programmes that the Minister mentioned seemed to stop at Yorkshire and the Humber. Will the Minister please not forget the needs of Tyneside? I say that coming as I do from the north-east. On the further expansion of the academies programme, will the Minister clarify the position of the Church of England-sponsored academies? Will they be treated in the same way as those he mentioned that will be sponsored by universities?
