Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Education and Health.


Education and Health

The right hon. Gentleman might be having a bonfire of the bureaucracies, but will he acknowledge that many of them are not just bureaucracies and that they actually do an important job in education? We still need curriculum development capacity, for example, and we still need technology to be applied in our schools to advance good learning. There is a rumour sweeping through the corridors that he is about to announce the abolition of the General Teaching Council for England. Is that true? What would be the purpose of that?
