		Stephen Twigg's eyes nearly popped out of his head on May 1 1997 when he was elected MP for Enfield Southgate, the north London borough where he was born.

		Mr Twigg has a cerebral side - he was chairman of the Fabian Society - as well as a practical one - he is a governor of Merryhills primary school and Southgate school in Enfield Southgate, honorary president of the British Youth Council and a director of the Foreign Policy Centre.

	WEDNESDAY 17 JULY 2002
		(Stephen Twigg) Of course there is a relationship and it is well researched and well documented that the social and economic background of people going to schools is a determinant of the outcome but it is not the only determinant.
		(Stephen Twigg) I totally agree, as I said in the debate on Friday, that it is about the kinds of values we have: respect for one another, respect for community, and a sense of responsibility as well as rights is part of that.
		(Stephen Twigg) Yes, I think parity of esteem is important but, of course, where we do not have parity of esteem at the moment there will be perceptions, whether right or wrong, of what is a good school and what is a bad school, and that is not parity of esteem.

		Twigg's plan calls for a change in not only diet but in how people think about eating and how it affects their self-esteem.
