§ Mr. LoydenTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment if she will make a statement648W on the role of parental choice in determining the school that a child can attend. [9464]
§ Mrs. GillanParents have the right to express a preference for the school that they wish their child to attend. In most cases, that preference must be met if places are available. As a result of the Government's reforms, parents now have more rights, much better information, and access to many more kinds of schools.
