Proceeding contribution from Emma Hardy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 13 June 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill.


Higher Education (Freedom of Speech) Bill

The standardisation provided by allowing a body such as a Select Committee to interview a person before appointing them to a role such as chair of Ofsted is common. The Minister knows that, because she was on the Education Committee with me when we did pre-appointment hearings, so it seems a little unusual that scrutiny is not seen as being as important in this aspect of education as in other areas.
