Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Lastly, I turn to Amendment 502YG tabled in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Morgan of Cotes, which seeks to introduce mandatory allergy safety policies for all schools in England. Like other noble Lords, I recognise the tragedy of the death of Benedict Blythe and the work of his family to promote this issue; I also recognise the organisations that have worked so hard to bring this important issue to the attention of both us, as legislators, and the Government. When parents send their children to school, it is only right and natural that they expect them to be kept safe. For parents of children with allergies, there is, understandably, an additional level of concern.
