Conservative — Isle of Wight East

Speaking in the House of Commons on 18 March 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

My right hon. Friend has referred not only to the previous Government, but to the new Labour Government before that. Does he share my concern, and perhaps my confusion? I thought there was consensus on the huge benefits of academies, which were brought in by new Labour and advanced by the previous Conservative Government, but this Government seem to be ripping up that consensus through this Bill.
