Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Multiple Births.


Multiple Births

I am extremely grateful to the Minister for his helpful and positive response. Would he give as firm a guarantee as he can that, from this September, we will never again hear of a local education authority placing twins or children of multiple births in separate schools against the preferences of the parents? There will be occasions on which parents want them to go to separate schools, but when they wish their twins or triplets to go to the same school, can he give a categorical assurance that every local education authority in the country will be told that they must find places at a school for those twins or triplets?
