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

My Lords, what my noble friend’s amendments seek to do is not only desirable but in line with the Government’s policy. The Minister’s problem is not whether or not to agree but how to set about obtaining that end, which may not be as proposed in the amendment. However, the issue is so important that if it is in doubt it should be protected, if not in statute then in supplementary legislation. I hope my noble friend will be able to give reassurance in that direction.
