Proceeding contribution from Lord Gove (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Academies Bill [Lords].


Academies Bill [Lords]

My hon. Friend was a distinguished member of that Committee, and it is precisely because the Committee made such a good case that I have been so influenced by it. The case was also made by my right hon. Friend the Member for Yeovil (Mr Laws), who argued that if academy freedoms were so good, why should all schools not have them? If there is a coalition of the Select Committee, my right hon. Friend the Member for Yeovil and the former Member for Sedgefield, who am I to stand in its way?
