Business without Debate

Lord Watson of Wyre Forest Excerpts

Friday 11th February 2011 Commons Chamber

[Hon. Members]

Object.

Bill to be read a Second time on Friday 4 March.

[Mr Tom Watson (West Bromwich East) (Lab)]

On a point of order, Mr Deputy Speaker. This morning the High Court ruled on the decision of the Secretary of State for Education to cut the Building Schools for the Future programme, claiming that it was unlawful, unfair and an abuse of power. Have you heard a squeak from the Secretary of State, Mr Deputy Speaker? Is he going to come to this House to explain himself?

[Mr Deputy Speaker (Mr Lindsay Hoyle)]

The matter has been raised already, and I have heard nothing further on it.
