Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on 21st Century Schools.


21st Century Schools

If the hon. Gentleman had listened to my statement, he would have heard me say that this White Paper devolves substantial power from the centre to individual head teachers so that they can make their own decisions on how to commission support. However, either we let the market work and children suffer when schools fail or we intervene, and I am determined to intervene because I do not agree with the philosophy that defines the Conservatives' approach.
