Schools Minister Nick Gibb said Conservative backbench opposition to the forced academisation of schools was his 鈥渇ault鈥� and he needed to do 鈥渕ore to sell the policy鈥�.

Mr Gibb would not say when legislation would be put before Parliament, but said the government is 鈥減ressing ahead鈥� with its plans.

Green Party leader Natalie Bennett said her party's policy was to get rid of free schools and academies, bringing all state schools into "local democratic control."

They were speaking to Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn about anger over the academy plan, some of which comes from Conservative MPs and councillors.

The Conservative minister said: 鈥淲ell that鈥檚 my fault, I need to do more, we need to do more to sell the policy and make the case to colleagues but the vision is very clear, it鈥檚 about ensuring there are no under-performing schools in our system. And that鈥檚 what parents want.鈥�
