	Department for Education and Skills: 16 Oct 2002: House of Commons debates (TheyWorkForYou.com)
		If the Secretary of State is feeling sore about her predecessor and what he has done for her reputation, let me assure her that I shall come to the primary school targets in a moment.
		Yesterday, the Secretary of State tried the old trick of defending herself against a charge that no one in the House was making—that she interfered personally to fiddle the grades—while trying to ignore the charges made in this House and by many teachers, parents and pupils.
		By issuing to the media a statement that she had overruled the appeals panel, the Secretary of State raised expectations in the school that the problem had been solved, and 24 hours later those expectations were dashed when the school realised that she did not have the power to overrule.

		If you look at education policy over the last nine years, so since Labour's been in power, what you'll see over that time is progressively, year by year, month by month, the government devolving more power and responsibility to schools.
		As I was tracing out the development of education policy over the last nine years, what's been happening is that schools have had more devolved powers, local authorities have been starting to carry out a more strategic role.
		RUTH KELLY: So the local education authority becomes the authority that is championing parents and pupils, that is brokering these arrangements and it is helping the support to come in and the external partnerships to be forged.
