Proceeding contribution from Richard Graham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Academies Bill [Lords].
Academies Bill [Lords]
Does my right hon. Friend agree that it is slightly ironic to hear Opposition Members make accusations of inadequate consultation on the Bill, given that the previous Secretary of State simply dispatched to my constituency his henchman Mr Badman, who decided to close one of the comprehensive schools there? The consultation was simply on whether to close it or merge it with another one, and it was stated that the new academy must open in September. Does he agree that this Government are trying to deal with the problems that have resulted from a very crude consultation and a very tight deadline?
