Theresa May addressed the Conservative backbench 1922 committee last night and she used the session to explain her plans to bring back grammar schools. According to today’s Telegraph splash, she told her MPs that she wanted a new generation of “inclusive” grammar schools.
According to sources at the meeting, she answered critics by saying: “We have already got selection haven’t we – it’s called ‘selection by house price’” ….
She will publish a green paper and give a major speech after telling MPs last night that she wants a new generation of grammar schools to be “inclusive and not exclusive”.
