Proceeding contribution from Sammy Wilson (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 26 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Academies Bill [Lords].


Academies Bill [Lords]

I take the point that the hon. Gentleman and others have made on the importance of consulting parents, but surely the Bill already ensures that they will be consulted. Clause 5 is clear that people ““must”” be consulted. It is also clear that people refers to ““such persons as”” the governors ““think appropriate””. Surely to goodness no one would suggest that parents do not fall under the phrase,"““persons as they think appropriate””."
