  <p>The majority Not Contents defeated an attempt to amend the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldbills/149/06149.i-vii.html"> Education and Inspections Bill</a> to maintain the current statutory proportion of elected parent governors on a school's governing body when a school becomes a foundation, or Trust, school. More information on what it means to be a 'Foundation' or 'Trust' school can be found <a href="http://www.publicwhip.org.uk/division.php?date=2006-03-15&number=192&dmp=1074">here</a>.</p>
  
  <p>Baroness Walmsley proposed the amendment to <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldbills/149/06149.8-14.html#j205">Clause 18, subsection 4 of the Education and Inspections Bill</a>. It would have added in a new subsection 4(g) to the clause as follows:</p>
  
  <blockquote><p>None of the following alterations may be made to a maintained schoolâ</p>
  <p><b>(g) a reduction in the proportion of elected parent governors on a school's governing body</b></p></blockquote>
