Amendments 502YE and 504B, both tabled by the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, seek to require the publication of statutory guidance for schools and colleges on gender-questioning children on the day that the Bill is passed. As a Government, we have constantly reaffirmed our commitment to placing children’s well-being at the centre of education policy. I am sure that the noble Baroness is right that care was taken over the draft guidance that she quoted from, but that was draft guidance that was then subject to a consultation.
