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]

I consulted head teachers, teachers, and parents, and I also took the trouble to consult the electorate at the general election; the proposal was in our manifesto, and received a great deal of support. Following the general election, I was fortunate enough to find out that the proposal received support from not just my right hon. Friend the Member for Yeovil, but my right hon. Friend the Member for Sheffield, Hallam (Mr Clegg) and my many other hon. Friends on the Liberal Democrat Benches.
