Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Child Protection.


Child Protection

The right hon. Gentleman is right. It is important that councils are called to account. This is not a party political matter. As he knows, those are Conservative and Labour councils around the country. More than 100 of the 150 areas that were inspected by Ofsted in the past year were judged good or very good, but not all were, and where there is inadequacy, we will intervene because that is the right thing to do.
