I do not support either Amendment 465 or Amendment 471, for the reasons set out by my noble friend Lord Jackson of Peterborough and the noble Lord, Lord Weir. I will spare the Committee my wider thoughts; suffice it to say that we are at risk of expecting schools to step in where in the past parents were responsible and I do not think that it ends well when the state takes on parental responsibilities. You cannot outsource parenting and culture.
