Clause 138
1:30 pm
David Laws (Yeovil, Liberal Democrat)
It is good to have such active participation from Ministers in the debate and to see so many Labour Members present now. Clearly, they are at their best after the lunch break. We now move on to an extremely important clause. If you will allow me, Mrs. Humble, I will start with a quiz for those Committee members who are here. I should like them to tell me—they should feel free to intervene if they wish—the significance of the following volumes. I would particularly expect the Minister for Schools and Learners to know the answer. The volumes are Enid Blyton’s Famous Five adventures, Malcolm Saville’s Lone Pine detective stories, “The Wind in the Willows”, “Swallows and Amazons” by Arthur Ransome and, finally, a book called “Keeping Pet Chickens”.
