I am delighted that the Minister agrees that we should support the expansion of popular and successful schools—it is right to do that. She will therefore share my disappointment that, in the past year, the Government have backed the expansion of only two schools, increasing places by only 379 when there are more than 50,000 appeals from parents whose children do not get into their first choice of school. Is not it time to make the process easier? The Minister referred to the changes that the Government announced last week. Although they will make the process quicker, they will not make it easier. Is not it time that popular and successful schools can expand and that the expansion is not blocked by unpopular schools or LEAs?
