Backbench rebellion against white paper.

The article reports that backbenchers, ex-ministers and Estelle Morris, a former education secretary in Great Britain are opposing the government's white paper on education. They claim that the legislation for setting up independent trust schools would not be in favor of disadvantaged pupils. The ministers suggest that local authorities be given the power to stop schools expanding. According to the British Humanist Association trust schools would lead to segregation and sectarianism in education.
