Proceeding contribution from Lord Willetts (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 March 2006. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.
Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation
I completely agree with my hon. Friend. Conservative Members trust schools—that is why we voted for trust schools, although of course it is a policy that dares not speak its name. It did not even appear in the Education and Inspections Bill, but anyway we backed it, because we believe in giving schools more freedom. If that is the philosophy that the Secretary of State claims she now believes in, why does she have to set conditions on the money that she is sending to schools? Is that consistent with the view of education that lies behind the Bill for which Conservative Members were happy to vote?
