Proceeding contribution from David Laws (Liberal Democrat) 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 am grateful to the Secretary of State for those comments, and I can understand why the issue of selection by ability is in the Schools Minister's bottom drawer, but we are talking about a different question; we are talking about new selection coming into the system. Selection by aptitude is still in place for foreign languages, for example. Will the Secretary of State keep that under review in an active way and commission new research on it, rather than keep it under review in the same way that the other issue, which has been buried in the bottom drawer, is being kept under review?
