Proceeding contribution from Baroness Massey of Darwen (Labour) 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 certainly can. If the noble Baroness, Lady Murphy, were here, she would give the example of a particular school where they learned the Koran for about 80 per cent of the curriculum, and very little else. I think that is indoctrination. Education should consider all aspects of a particular faith, of other faiths, of personal, social and health education, without restriction. Trying to persuade young people to adhere to a particular thing, which they may not be ready to adhere to anyway, may influence them in unfortunate ways.
