Finally, there is a series of amendments that would unlock more financial support for electively home-educating families, including Amendments 401, 402, 411, 413, 419 and 422 in the name of my noble friend Lord Wei. The Minister was crystal clear in response to the last group about where the financial responsibility lies with electively home-educating parents. I sympathise with the Minister in finding the right balance here—to make sure that any support offered, including any financial support, strikes the right balance and is not interpreted as actively encouraging home education, and that we are clear that school for the vast majority of children is the best place to be.
