speaker, i'm sure the prime minister is aware of the views the people in oxfordshire on this issue. counselor tilly, the conservative cabinet member for education in his own county said, i'm fed up with the cops from above, saying he would do this and you won't do that. he claims to be an advocate of devolution. so is he not concerned about criticisms from his friend the member who says, little accountability or parental involvement. can the prime minister understand the anger so many people feel just being imposed on them, a system they don't want or what are often already very good if the outstanding schools? >> it's always good to get election on the cops -- i will pass over that. i will pass over that. the truth is, creating academies is to devolution because you're putting the power in the hands of head teachers and the teachers. and, of course, of course you will find people in local government who want to keep things exactly as they are. but the truth is one of the reasons i so strong support academies is that when they fail they are intervened on so much faster. local author
