Proceeding contribution from Andrew Percy (Conservative) 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]

My hon. Friend makes that point better than I could. That is precisely why I am making the point today that governing bodies are not full of educational asset strippers. They consist of people who care deeply about their schools and communities and who will not change the governance arrangements of their school without proper consultation with parents, pupils and the wider community. We should pay respect to the people who serve as governors. They are dedicated individuals who understand their responsibilities full well, and they will not proceed without proper consultation.
