Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
Amendment 453B would remove the regulation-making powers in the Bill. As ever, we would like to limit the regulation-making powers in legislation, and I am not convinced that the criteria that the adjudicator will use to make a determination will change so frequently. Can the Minister explain why the Government need this flexibility? Could some of the criteria not be put in the Bill, as was done in relation to the definition of full-time education in an earlier clause?
