Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) 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]

I accept that. I do not know whether the noble Lord has ever tried to get a statement, but I have friends who have had to get statements for disabled children who they have adopted. It is unbelievably difficult to get a statement out of the local authority. You have to be prepared to fight and fight. I support the Government. Let us look at this as an opportunity because, quite honestly, some local authorities are not doing terribly well. Some are doing well, but quite a lot are not, so let us recruit the academy movement into trying to solve some of these problems. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 19 withdrawn. Amendment 20 not moved. Amendment 21 had been retabled as Amendment 22A. Amendment 22 Moved by
