Good for him, but why was he ever in the strongly anti-grammar schools Conservative Party in the first place?
The inexorable logic of the Willetts-Cameron position is that even those grammar schools which still exist should be closed, since they are harmful not only to those who do not get into them, but even to those who do. This view (that of the sectarian Left of the sectarian Left, mostly public school like the Tories) is entirely of a piece with the Tories' record in office between 1970 and 1974, and between 1979 and 1997.
Anyone who wants to save the remaining grammar schools can, I suppose, join Labour, whose policy that is. But whatever else they do, they must leave the Conservative Party immediately.
