Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendment 318 from my noble friend looks at the difficulty and concern about people who are distant from maintained schools. Amendment 321 is looking, again, at people who are clearly succeeding. Amendment 322 looks at how you deal with nomadic families. All these are details on which I hope to hear from the Minister or, later, from her officials. We need to understand how these things work. But if there is the basic arrangement of quality local authorities supported by clear direction from the Government, a lot of these difficulties are clearly superable without getting too fussed about them in legislation. I beg to move.
