On 5th July 2010 during an education debate in the House of Commons, Barry Sheerman asked the Rt Hon Michael Gove MP: "Does the Rt. Hon gentleman agree that for more than 100 years we have had a proud tradition of democratic participation in education and an education system in every local education area? Is he today announcing, finally, the death knell of democratic educational participation in our country?"
Rt Hon Michael Gove answered: "I am absolutely insistent that we move towards a greater degree of local participation in deciding educational priorities. That is why future capital decisions, instead of being a matter for the bureaucrats who have been responsible for making so many of the decisions in unaccountable quangos, will increasingly be a matter for local communities."
