Educational Attainment (Disadvantaged Pupils)

David Laws Excerpts

Monday 3rd March 2014 Ministerial Corrections

The following is an extract from the debate on Educational Attainment (Disadvantaged Pupils) in Westminster Hall on 25 February 2014.

[The Minister for Schools (Mr David Laws)]

I thank other hon. Members who spoke. There were good speeches from the hon. Members for Stockton North (Alex Cunningham) and for Cardiff West (Kevin Brennan), and interventions from my hon. Friend the Member for Bradford East (Mr Ward) and the hon. Member for Gateshead (Ian Mearns). I should put the hon. Member for Cardiff West out of his misery before he intervenes on me to ask about the teachers’ work load survey, which he has become obsessed about. I have fantastic news for him, which will make his day: it will be published, not just shortly, but on 4 March. In the very near future he will be able to see all the information and get all the answers he wants.
