Text
I thank the Member for giving way. We are now having an important and respectful debate on the subject, but, going by that theory and the statistics that he has quoted on sectors, segregation and traditional communities, many of the integrated schools that the Minister referred to yesterday would fall into those categories. They are segregated, because they do not demonstrate the diverse community that the Member claims should be the case.
