Holiday Pricing

Proceeding contribution from Robin Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 24 February 2014. It occurred during Backbench debate and e-petition debate on Holiday Pricing.

Does the hon. Lady accept that there is discretion for head teachers to define what counts as special? Several of my constituents who contacted me about the debate said that they wanted to take their children out in circumstances that would be educational for them—to see other cultures and go to places that could help to inform their education. Does she accept that special circumstances might include those cases, and that it should be at the discretion of head teachers to make that interpretation under the regulations?
