Education

Asked the Prime Minister’s reaction to the accusation by the chairman of the Society of Headmasters and Headmistresses of Independent Schools (SHMIS) that he was a ‘public school toff’ who had manipulated the system to get his two sons into a good state school, the PMOS said that he hadn’t heard or seen the remarks before now. However, his initial response was that freedom of speech was a key characteristic of living in a democracy. People were entitled to express themselves in the way they saw fit.
