Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 July 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Amendments 199 and 199ZA also relate to PE kit. Amendment 199 would mean that schools could require those pupils who wish to represent the school in sporting activities to have a potentially unlimited number of branded items, while Amendment 199ZA would mean that schools could require any pupil’s PE kit to include a potentially unlimited number of branded items. I think we are all agreed that the cost of sports kit should never be a barrier to representing a school or participation in sport. It is therefore right that schools currently asking for large numbers of compulsory branded items are required to reduce them.
