Proceeding contribution from Lord Willis of Knaresborough (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.
Education Bill
I am grateful to the Minister for giving way. An academy will have total control over its curriculum and will not have to consult anyone about the subjects it teaches. While I take his point that most will want to follow the national curriculum, if an academy wanted to substitute creationism for Darwinism in its science curriculum, will it be able to do that without having to ask permission of the Secretary of State or to consult with anyone else? Is that correct?
