I applaud the fact that my right hon. Friend has turned her face against selection at 11 and her intention to promote social mobility through education, but that surely has to mean equality of access to the best education irrespective of where people live in an authority, irrespective of their means and irrespective, for instance, of their ability to move house next to the school they want their children to go to in order to get in. Will she please spell out very clearly how her proposals will reconcile the apparent conflict between greater freedom for the schools, including matters of entrance, and guaranteeing equality of access for all social classes in areas like mine?
