Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill.

Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

A moment ago the Secretary of State referred to short-stay schools, which I assume will be taking over from the pupil referral units, for young people with difficulties who are not thriving in a mainstream school. They are termed ““short-stay schools””, but will he confirm that there will be no cap on a pupil's length of stay, so that they are not re-imposed on their mainstream school before they are ready or before they have made sufficient progress?
