The article reports on warnings being given by Labour Party members in concern with the white paper released by the British government. A coalition of interests in the Parliamentary Labour Party is uniting against the paper and its proposed structural change education with new independent state schools and an end to local authorities' role as providers. The news came as an influential group of educationists castigated the Government for repeatedly introducing policies which were not properly evaluated, arguing that short-term political perspectives were driving policy-making.
