MPs back Government Academies Bill
Updated on 26 July 2010
MPs have backed the Government's flagship Academies Bill which was rushed through Parliament in time for the start of the summer recess.
The Bill was passed by 317 votes to 225, Government majority 92, despite accusations it would lead to a "two-tier" education system and would damage comprehensive schooling.
It completed its Commons passage in an unusually short period and will allow for a radical overhaul of the school system in England.
