Proceeding contribution from Lord Touhig (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.
Education Bill
I support the objectives in the noble Lord’s amendment. However, in voluntary aided Catholic schools and academies, the governing body is the admissions authority. Currently it can determine admissions on oversubscription criteria based on a child being a Catholic or a non-Catholic and so on. These schools are required to, and do, comply with the Equality Act 2010. I am a little concerned. Does he think his amendment, if accepted, would remove the right of the governing bodies to determine the admissions criteria based upon the existing principles?
