Proceeding contribution from Baroness Perry of Southwark (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 21 June 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Academies Bill [HL].


Academies Bill [HL]

I am grateful to the noble Lord for that because, certainly, many of the parents came from different backgrounds. I have seen pre-school playgroups on council estates organised by single mothers and so on which were inspiring. So perhaps we should reconsider the idea that a governing body composed of a majority of parents is not necessarily a good thing.
