I move amendment No. 38:

In page 7, to delete lines 23 to 27.

We do not believe that undersubscribed schools should be free to discriminate on the grounds of religion. This amendment deletes the proviso that they are allowed to refuse on the basis of maintaining the ethos. The ethos is protected under other provisions in the Education Act 1998.
