Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 February 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Building Schools for the Future.


Building Schools for the Future

My Lords, the essence of the judgment in the High Court is that the Secretary of State did not carry out appropriate consultation. What consultation has my noble friend had with local authorities about the top-slicing of capital budgets for academies and free schools? If he has not had legal advice on that matter, will he take it urgently to avoid going to court again?
