Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Tim Loughton and Valerie Vaz

Monday 17th October 2011 Commons Chamber

[Tim Loughton]

I am aware that the Everyday Champions organisation applied for a free school but was unsuccessful, and I think that he has been copied in on the reasons why, but we will continue to encourage those faith schools that offer a particularly excellent education for the many children whom they now look after.
