Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Baroness Morgan of Cotes and Mike Wood

Monday 26th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Nicky Morgan]

He is absolutely right to say that we are serious about tackling the continued underperformance of all schools across the country. I should be clear that there has been no change in policy on grammar schools or selective education. One particular school has been given permission to expand.

[Mike Wood (Dudley South) (Con)]
