Nick Clegg will today rule out the possibility of the Government's new free schools being run for profit as he seeks to reassure Liberal Democrat sceptics that the policy will improve social mobility.
As the first wave of the new-style schools prepare to open this week, the Deputy Prime Minister will insist that he would "never tolerate" them becoming "the preserve of the privileged few".
In a speech this morning, he will say that they will be incentivised to attract under-privileged pupils and set up in areas of high deprivation or with shortages of school places.
