Proceeding contribution from Baroness Perry of Southwark (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 28 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Academies Bill [HL].

Academies Bill [HL]

If I might add another voice from the Back Benches: to try to guarantee to every parent that their child will have an ideally good school—what a wonderful thought that would be. People have been trying ever since the end of the Second World War to provide a good school for every child; successive Governments have not succeeded in doing so. There are still an awful lot of schools which fail an awful lot of children, so to try to put into legislation a promise to parents that they will have a good school for their child is really an absurd suggestion.
