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


Education Bill

As my hon. Friend the Member for Cardiff West says, this is a nudge with a loaded gun. Of course schools will focus on the English baccalaureate! If he expects us to believe that that will not happen, he is taking us for mugs. The baccalaureate will obviously drive behaviour in our school system. The Ministers know that that is what they are doing, but they are trying to pretend that it will not happen. I am telling the Minister that it will.
