Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hughes of Stretford (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 4 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

That may be the case but will the noble Baroness agree that in those circumstances at the moment, if the appeals panel decides that the decision was wrong, it has the power to allow the child back into the school? What is proposed now is that, when the review panel puts the decision aside, it cannot make its own, informed judgment—it can simply ask the governing body to reconsider—and it has no power to give the child redress if it is really of the view that a mistake has been made. Does she really think that that is a just process?
