Proceeding contribution from Baroness Teather (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Academies Bill [Lords].


Academies Bill [Lords]

This is a permissive power and not all schools will choose that route. In response to the concerns of many of the hon. Gentleman's colleagues—I recognise that he was very much in favour of the academies programme when he was a Minister—I say that we are not forcing schools down that route.
