Graham Stuart

Conservative — Beverley and Holderness

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Does my hon. Friend, like me, reflect on the irony that the success from 2010 to 2024, which we on the Conservative Benches would naturally celebrate, was only possible because of the Labour visionaries who drove the academies programme forward, made changes, developed the argument, rolled the pitch and allowed us to lift our schools to much higher levels of performance and our children from deprived backgrounds to much better results. Labour Members were the creators of that, and now this Government are disowning it.
