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


Academies Bill [Lords]

May I set the right hon. Gentleman straight on one point? Yes, the former Children, Schools and Families Committee did recommend that all schools should have the same curriculum freedoms as academies, but it was never necessary to expand academy status to outstanding schools in order to do that. It was always under the control of central Government and the Department, not local authorities.
