Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Lord Laming's Progress Report.


Lord Laming's Progress Report

It might be more helpful if Conservative Members did not urge local authorities not to implement the recommendations. The Every Child Matters framework should be the law in every area. Although 101 authorities are already considered to be good or outstanding, we want 150 authorities to merit that description. Those authorities should be implementing the law and best practice now, and we will drive the system until we can be assured that that is being done everywhere.
