Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 July 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.

Education and Skills Bill

The noble Lord assures me that the child is always informed, and that he or she is usually heard. I am concerned—no doubt anecdotal evidence on this matter will be given to me in the recess—that in a large school the governing body, which may meet when the pupils are on holiday, will take decisions that are remote from a child. It may not hear from the child although I am sure that the teachers will. However, for the time being, I shall have to accept his reassurance. I hope that I shall continue to be reassured in October. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 228D not moved.] Clause 138 agreed to.
