Proceeding contribution from Andrew Percy (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My hon. Friend has made an important point in saying that such provision is not appropriate in all circumstances. Does she agree that when a school has made a decision either to become an academy or not to do so, we should support that decision and support the school's governors? On the front page of a local paper in my constituency, a Labour councillor in Goole was quoted as saying that a school that had decided to become an academy would not take children from council estates.
