The former education secretary and Conservative MP told the Westminster Hour that "there are quite a number of colleagues (on the Conservative benches) who for a variety of different reasons are uncomfortable about this as a direction of travel for policy".

She added: "there are certainly enough that I think the government would have to think very carefully about whether they would get the proposals as currently constituted through.”
