Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (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 am grateful to the Minister for giving way, even at this late hour, on this point. The concern raised with me is that paragraph 2 of the School Admissions Code reads: ""Where mandatory requirements are imposed by the Code … it is stated that relevant bodies ‘must’ comply with the particular requirement or provision"." However, the code continues at paragraph 3: ""The Code also includes guidelines which the relevant bodies ‘should’ follow"." The relevant bodies there are the academies, so they only "should" follow, rather than "must" follow, this prioritising of children in admissions. Perhaps I have misunderstood in reading the code; I would appreciate guidance.
