a) can't find anything for David Laws, the LibDem MP, on his or the Lib Dems website (or by googling "David Laws" & "madrasah" (except the DM article and blogs discussing it)).
b) as a) searching for "Ed Balls" & "madrasa"
c) Ann Cryer's comments are paraphrased from March 2006, when she was commenting on (and supporting) a report produced by Dr Ghayasuddin Siddiqui (also quoted in the DM report)
c) Irfan Chishti's comments were from December 2008 Times article

So, is there any foundation in this DM story, or is is just rehashing old stuff?
yeah ,i hinted at that earlier it does seem to be a space filler in the abcense of any new muslim related stories
