Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howe of Idlicote (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My Lords, perhaps I may make a brief intervention because, obviously, one supports a great deal of what has been said, particularly on fairness and ensuring that the least well provided for children are given not only a fair, but a more than fair, chance. I thought that one of the bases on which academy status was to be granted was a clear understanding that academies would take a proportion of these children. If that is the case, how will that be ensured?
