Proceeding contribution from David Chaytor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.
Education and Skills Bill
I think that is right. Paradoxically, it is in the interests of the Opposition to drop this archaic prejudice about the structure of secondary education. If they are genuinely trying to reinvent themselves as a party that represents the majority of the population of the United Kingdom, they cannot afford to hang on to their hang ups. I have to admit that I struggle to work out the difference between shiny new compassionate conservatism and the old, nasty reactionary conservatism. Frankly, in the education policy that Conservative Members have espoused today, there is no difference.
