Fox - "Conservatives will back sensible Education reforms"
Nick Robinson, BBC
"Today it has been announced that Liam Fox will order a whip on the Conservative MPs when the vote on the second reading of the Education And Free Schools Bill returns to Parliament.
With the Conservatives backing this bill its means the bill will pass unless the whole Labour Party revolts which is extremely unlikely. The price of the Conservative backing seems as of yet to be unclear but this has been a key issue Blair has wanted to tackle and it seems he has got his way.
Reports are already circling that Brown and Ed Balls are preparing to meet with Blair to try and bring him around to a more leftist reform but many people believe that Ruth Kelly (Education Secretary) and Blair are delighted with the Bill as it is.
