I hope that the Minister will look kindly on this amendment. She may not like its wording, and I would be very pleased if the Government were to bring forward an even better framed and drafted amendment. I accept that my amendment’s drafting may not be perfect, but I think the Minister will get the thrust of what I am saying. I am sure she will agree that it is very unfortunate that rural schools have been impacted in this way, and the admissions policy for schools even more so.
