Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jones of Whitchurch (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

If that is what we have to rely on, it is to be regretted. It should be much more of a forceful and enforceable right. I do not think I have anything more to say. In some sense this is an ideological difference between us. However, it is not about academies or no academies but about central and local control. We are very much on the side of parents, local communities and local democratically elected representatives. I do not think that the Government have fully acknowledged that. I am sure we will return to this subject, and I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Clause 36 agreed. Schedule 11 : Establishment of new schools Schedule 11 : Establishment of new schools Amendments 108 to 112 not moved. Schedule 11 agreed.
