Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hughes of Stretford (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

We have had a number of occasions when, because the Minister is a very reasonable person, we have not pressed to the point where we have got a satisfactory answer from him. This is one of those occasions. We had a similar situation not long ago in relation to qualified teachers. What would the view of the Secretary of State be if he received an application that did not inform him of the views of parents? What action would he take to ask why? Would he ask the applicants to go back and get them? Would the Secretary of State be happy to make a decision without knowing what local parents thought about the proposal?
