Education and Inspections Bill
9:30 pm
John Hayes (Shadow Minister (Vocational Education), Education; South Holland and The Deepings, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 92, in clause 42, page 31, line 26, at end insert—
‘(1A) After subsection (2) insert—
“(2A) Where an objection is made under subsection (2), the person making the objection to the adjudicator (the “objector”) must provide a detailed meritorious case for his decision, setting out why the specific admission arrangement to which he objects damages his school or, in the case of a local education authority, other schools within the authority area, and providing substantive evidence to support his case.
(2B) If the objector fails to provide the detailed meritorious case and evidence required in subsection (2A) the adjudicator shall not hear the objection.
(2C) If, in the reasonable opinion of the adjudicator an objection by an objector is unreasonable, vexatious, frivolous or otherwise unmeritorious, he shall not hear the objection.
(2D) Where an objector has made objection on the same grounds at any time in the previous three years, the adjudicator shall not hear the objection.”.'.
