Clause 2 - Duties in relation to diversity and choice
Education and Inspections Bill
9:30 am
David Evennett (Whip, Whips; Bexleyheath and Crayford, Conservative)
I do not want to defend the Liberal Democrats, but last Friday I had a representation from some hard working teachers, the secretary and some members of Bexley National Union of Teachers. They were fundamentally opposed to the Bill and to all the measures about which the Minister is waxing lyrical. Why does she think that NUT members, whom her colleagues have described in previous debates as tremendous teachers and professionals, are so fundamentally against it?
