Proceeding contribution from Lord Baker of Dorking (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]
Before my noble friend sits down, I draw his attention to the point made by my noble friend Lord Bates. However, I am not asking him to make any commitment tonight. My noble friend Lord Bates said that the new schools should provide education if pupils were, "““wholly or mainly drawn from the area in which the school is situated””." That may be too narrow. If there is a wider catchment area for the new schools, the effect on the area local schools will be much less. Certainly, we have very wide catchment areas for the university technical colleges; for example, half the Black Country. This is acceptable to local authorities because no individual school is hit too much. Will he consider that before Report, please?
