Debate between Lord Nash and Lord Hughes of Woodside

Thursday 30th June 2016 Lords Chamber

[Lord Nash]

We issued clear guidance in December on this matter and we do not recognise that point.

[Lord Hughes of Woodside (Lab)]

The Minister says that he disagrees with the judgment. Will he explain why the Government have reached that decision?

[Lord Nash]

Because the decision was based on a very narrow point, and Dr Juss’s interpretation gives it a much wider aspect. It was a very specific case about the content of GCSEs.
