Schools: Special Measures

Debate between Lord Nash and Lord Glentoran

Wednesday 16th December 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Nash]

I hope that Ministers on this side of the House will never be frightened to come to this House and explain themselves. I conceive local authorities as being responsible for place planning, basic needs, admissions, safeguarding and SEN for the foreseeable future.

[Lord Glentoran (Con)]

My Lords, what is the intention of Her Majesty’s Government in relation to ensuring that education by devolved Governments is maintained and remains at the same standard as the United Kingdom’s? By that, I mean Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
