Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.
Education Bill
The noble Lord obviously speaks with great passion and expertise on these matters. However, to some extent, is it not the case that things have been skewed in terms of medals being won by the product of independent schools by the fact that we are really good, as the noble Lord, Lord Coe, has described it, at sitting-down sports? We are good at rowing, sailing and horse riding, which are expensive sports and out of the reach of many of our state schools.
