Proceeding contribution from Lord Sutherland of Houndwood (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 12 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My Lords, Whitehall is a long way from Walsall, and the Secretary of State for Education, who sits on one of the peaks in Whitehall, is even further from the parent in the small primary school in Walsall. I think that it is a step too far to assume that the route for dealing with problems of this kind must inevitably flow through the Secretary of State’s office. I support the amendment.
