Proceeding contribution from Iain Wright (Labour) 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 may be pre-empting what the Minister is going to say. He has been talking about existing maintained schools converting to an academy, using the phrase ““as is”” and he mentioned that schools would have the same head, the same estate and so on. New clause 7(1) states:"““Before a school makes an application for an Academy order or””—" this is the point on which I seek clarification—"““an Academy arrangement with an additional school””." That refers to a free school. Will the existing arrangements still apply in respect of a free school too? Could the Minister provide clarity on that?
