Proceeding contribution from Lord Coaker (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children, Schools and Families Bill.


Children, Schools and Families Bill

The hon. Gentleman is making an interesting point, but does he not agree that there is a difference between this Bill and the 1998 Act? The home-school agreement is obviously a contract—a specific contract between home and school, which people must sign. It is relevant to an individual parent, an individual pupil, an individual school and an individual family. That is why the Act excluded it in terms of contract. The position in the Bill is entirely different. It is not necessary to rule out contracts, because no contractual agreements arise as a result of the guarantees in the Bill.
