David Laws vetoes plan to force schools to check immigrant status of pupils
The Guardian reports on an important intervention by Liberal Democrat minister David Laws:
A proposal to require schools to check on the immigration status of their pupils has been shelved after the Liberal Democrat schools minister David Laws decided the idea would be bureaucratic and difficult to implement.
In a sign of the Lib Dems’ determination to assert themselves in the coalition, Laws told the education secretary Michael Gove the proposal was a “non-flyer”.
