School Holidays; EU Referendum

Anita Anand takes listener calls. Should parents, rather than governments, decide when time away from school may be in the best interests of their child?

Anita Anand takes your calls on school holidays and the EU referendum.
Responding to last night's questions;

In light of today's High Court ruling in favour of the father who took his daughter on an unauthorised term time holiday, does the panel agree that parents, rather than governments, should decide when time away from school may be in the best interests of their child?

The International Monetary Fund chief has said a vote by the UK to leave the European Union would have pretty bad to very, very bad consequences. She echoed similar comments made on Thursday by Bank of England governor Mark Carney. Should these people intervene in the referendum debate and should we take their comments seriously?
