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 take my hon. Friend's point, which follows that made by the right hon. Member for Morley and Outwood (Ed Balls). Some 1,800 schools have applied for academy status, and if we were to run through the pros and cons of each my speech would be of interminable length. However, we have discussed that specific school before and I know that my right hon. Friend—sorry, I mean my hon. Friend; that will come later—is seeking in a fair-minded way to see whether that school can become co-educational and enjoy greater autonomy. I am sure we can find a way through.
