Proceeding contribution from Baroness Jones of Whitchurch (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 14 September 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

I am interested in the noble Lord’s response because, like my noble friend Lady Morris, I felt that he was almost trying to have it both ways. To be honest, I do not think he addressed a number of the key points I originally raised because the quote I gave from Michael Gove, the Secretary of State, and the signals he has sent out are about more than just fraying the edges. This is not about doing things on the margins. The signal the Secretary of State has sent out is that he thinks that there is a model in the independent sector that we should embrace wholeheartedly in the maintained sector because there are all sorts of lessons we should learn.
