Clause 10 - Powers of governing bodies to form or
Education Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Phil Willis (Harrogate and Knaresborough, Liberal Democrat)
I follow what the hon. Gentleman says, and I agree with him that any activity that takes away from the core activity of educating young people is unacceptable. Does the hon. Gentleman think there will be a conflict if, to follow the scenario, a company is set up and taken over by a plc, which has a duty to its shareholders and not to the students of the school? That is a distinct possibility as major companies in the marketplace are trading on the stock market.
