Really interesting, thank you for posting this. Does this kind of debate ever lead to further action...I'm afraid I don't know very much about parliamentary process.

It did seem that only 1 person turned up to argue from opposition. Also interesting how lots of the contributers referred back to their own gs education. Is there a list anywhere of where all current mps went to school, and where they send/ sent their own children?

The bit where they start talking abaout Russell Grants slinky hips is a bit odd though... :shock:
