I want to seek some clarification on Amendment 254B tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Crisp; I have a great deal of sympathy with it, and I hope that it can be resolved. I am really just asking the Minister to offer some reassurance or explanation when she winds up. I have three points. First, I am not quite sure whether the information is before the education, ie in the forward- looking education plans of a home-educated child, or whether it is retrospective, ie, what you have done with the child this term or this year. The timing of when this information is needed could make a difference.
