Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 11 December 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Children's Plan.
Children's Plan
The House will welcome the recognition in the Secretary of State's statement of the problems with pupil referral units. If ever there was an example of where, unfortunately, in the past 10 years the most vulnerable people have been let down, it is there. The number in those units has doubled from over 7,000 to over 15,000, yet the number getting a good GCSE is 0.4 per cent. Will the Secretary of State give us some detail about what he will do to ensure that standards rise in those units, and perhaps a little more about the pilots that he would like to see to obtain a proper replacement for them after 10 years of failure for those very vulnerable pupils?
