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

I am not a lawyer. We have had this discussion before, and the hon. Gentleman has conceded that he is not a lawyer either. I am advised, however, that there is no contractual agreement. I can see that a home-school agreement, involving the signing of a specific document, constitutes an individual contract between the pupil—or parent—and the school, but I see no analogy between that and the guarantees in the Bill.
