During the Business of the House questions on June 21st, Barry Sheerman asked the Rt. Hon Michael Gove MP, Secretary of State for Education: "Does the Secretary of State agree that admissions policy is at the heart of any policy in terms of opening up schools to pupils in a fair way? Does he have any plans to change the admissions code or the power behind it that ensures that it works?"

The Rt Hon. Michael Gove MP replied: "I intend to ensure that all free schools and all academies continue to abide by the existing admissions code, that all schools that are currently comprehensive remain comprehensive, and that all schools are as inclusive as possible."
