I still have not received an answer to the question I posed a while back – how the LibDem policy of maintaining local authority control over schools will mesh with the Gove plan to set schools free from that control. Will Gove swallow the LibDems, or will the LibDems swallow Gove? I am not at all reassured by the coalition's Programme for Government, which says:Friday, 28th May 2010
