Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on Schools: History.


Schools: History

I am most grateful to the noble Lord for giving way but this point is pertinent to what he has just said about those rioters. Is he talking about teaching history, as he and the noble Lord, Lord Thomas, have described it, or should we not have more about the people’s history of Britain? There is another dimension to history teaching on which a number of very commendable books have been written which turn the world upside down. Would he reflect on that as well?
