  Education Bill - Amendment No. 202 - Appeals pursuant to decisions of the adjudicator
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  <p>The majority Not-Contents rejected an amendment to the <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/ACTS/acts2002/ukpga_20020032_en_1">Education Bill</a>. The amendment would have inserted a new subsection (5) into <a href="http://www.opsi.gov.uk/Acts/acts1998/ukpga_19980031_en_4#pt2-ch1-pb2-l1g25">section 25 of the School Standards and Framework Act 1998</a>. This text would have read as follows:</p>
  
  <blockquote>"(5) The Secretary of State shall make arrangements for a body to hear appeals pursuant to decisions of the adjudicator."</blockquote>
  
  <p>As Baroness Ashton of Upholland <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?gid=2002-05-23a.902.1">explains in the debate</a> adjudicators determine "school organisation plans and proposals where there is no unanimity on the school organisation committee."</p>
  
  <p>Baroness Blatch of the Conservatives <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?gid=2002-05-23a.900.1">argues</a> "parents, school communities and schools themselves are in no position to counter the adjudicators' absolute power."</p>
