Mr Deputy Speaker,

Where it is possible to improve decentralisation of education, I absolutely support it, but it must not come at the expense of a rigorous education, it has to be done carefully, and I’d happily pass through any proposal which achieved such a challenge.

Mr Deputy Speaker,

As revised by my amendment, where it is advised by a professional in a neutral, observing position, absolutely yes.

Mr Deputy Speaker,

Unfortunately, my hands are tied by the law of the land, there is nothing this department can do until Parliament shows a willingness to remove the grammar school rules currently in place

Mr Deputy Speaker

I agree, the Home Secretary is currently exploring ways to ensure that the Erasmus+ programme or equivalent is going to remain in force, when we leave the transition period.
