Most recent appearances
- Business of the House: Clause 4 — Obligation to notify subscribers of reported infringements (7 Apr 2010) has video
“We have a very short time in which consider the Bill. Would it not have benefited from pre-legislative scrutiny, given that it is so technical and few Members probably understand all aspects of it? If it were to be defeated on Third Reading, I would look forward to it coming back and being scrutinised in such a way.”
- Written Answers — Children, Schools and Families: Building Schools for the Future Programme: Leicestershire (7 Apr 2010)
“To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families for what reasons Leicestershire county council's bid for funding from Building Schools for the Future was not recommended by Partnerships for Schools in the most recent funding round; and on what date his Department wrote to Leicestershire county council to inform them of these reasons.”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Children, Schools and Families: Topical Questions (8 Mar 2010)
“Leicestershire county council failed to get its BSF bid beyond the Partnerships for Schools process and on to Ministers' desks. Will Ministers assure me that they will explain the reasons for that, and will they join me in urging the council to talk to all who oppose the bid, so that we can achieve a genuine consensus and partnership locally and the bid can be submitted again in the near future?”
