Academies Bill Passed
28 July 2010
The government's academies bill yesterday received Royal Assent after being rushed through parliament on Monday. This legislation paves the way for parents, charities and others to set up "free schools" from this September. It also allows the first of the new wave academy schools, free from local authority control, to be in place for September.
Although six Liberal Democrat MPs voted for an amendment calling for more consultation with parents, the bill received Royal Assent yesterday.
