I welcome the Secretary of State's letter to the Chairman of the Select Committee as a step in the right direction, but why, when she talks of giving schools more freedom, is she retaining so much control in Whitehall? Why cannot all schools be given more freedom on the curriculum, for example, and why must a local authority that wants to compete to build a new community school ask for her permission? Would not real reform see her powers cut, not increased?

In her reply to the hon. Member for Warrington, North (Helen Jones) about who can run trust schools, the Minister spoke about safeguards. I know that she is having a few problems with lists at present, but I remind her that she promised to produce a new list—a list of which organisations and individuals would be suitable and appropriate to operate trust schools. When will she publish that list? Can she confirm that she has not ruled out fast-food chains like McDonald's and Burger King from running trust schools? Can she say anything about any criteria that she has in mind for judging whether a body is suitable to run a school?

Will the Secretary of State publish before the recess all the research that she has on the impact on social segregation of allowing schools to set their admissions policy? Does she regret the fact that a few schools already discourage from attending and weed out local disadvantaged children? How would allowing thousands more schools, including primary schools, to set their admissions policies stop those unfair practices?
