Proceeding contribution from Nick Gibb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.


Education Bill

Is the right hon. Gentleman aware that English, maths and double science are already compulsory up to the age of 16, and that until 2004 a modern language was compulsory up to 16? Therefore, only history or geography are added in the English baccalaureate—and they are compulsory up to 14. What is it about history or geography that he so opposes?
