Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

I urge my noble friend to bear it in mind, and particularly to have it borne in the minds of those drafting the document he promises for telling parents what they can expect in the way of help, that the parents of children we are most urgently wanting to help will have a reading age not much above that of the children. The document must be drafted with an expert eye on the comprehension of the reader.
