Proceeding contribution from Baroness Williams of Crosby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 23 June 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Academies Bill [HL].
Academies Bill [HL]
Foundation schools, both Anglican and Catholic, are allowed to appoint a majority of governors, and those schools in turn have the right to be admissions authorities for their own schools if they are voluntary aided. It is a very important power that currently exists. It is not clear from the Bill—perhaps the Minister can tell us—whether the foundation retains the right to appoint a majority of governors. Does it retain the right, if it is a voluntary-aided school, to be involved in the admissions process? Can he tell us broadly whether that situation is expected to continue?
