Proceeding contribution from Nick Gibb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Rose Report.

Rose Report

I congratulate the hon. Member for Norwich, North (Dr. Gibson) on securing this important debate. I disagree with most of what he said, but I do agree with his view that Romans, Saxons and the middle ages, as well as the oceans and continents, the rivers of the UK and the countries of Europe, should be taught in primary schools. I disagree with his comment that primary schools should not teach about kings and queens: they are an important part of understanding our history, and I hope that they remain in the primary curriculum.
