John Redwood Questions Prime Minister on academic selection
On Wednesday the 18th January, John Redwood questioned the Prime Minister on his plans for the Education Bill. John pointed out that the Government's plans do include selection by ability or aptitude. The Prime Minister failed to acknowledge that aptitude and selection are the same thing.

Extract from Hansard:
Mr. John Redwood (Wokingham) (Con): How does selection according to aptitude in modern languages differ from selection according to academic ability in modern languages?

The Prime Minister: The reasons have been given by the Department for Education and Skills and the Select Committee on Education and Skills for many years. I hope that the right hon. Gentleman will join us—and, now, his right hon. Friend the Member for Witney (Mr. Cameron)—in saying that up to 10 per cent. selection according to aptitude in specialist schools is fine, but condemning a return to academic selection.
