Proceeding contribution from Lord Lucas (Conservative) 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, I am not sure that I understand the moral difference between allowing a grammar school to expand and allowing an independent school to join the state sector as a selective school. Both have the effect of increasing the number of selective places in the UK state system. Why is one good and the other bad?
