I will conclude by saying that this is not a party-political issue. I congratulate the noble Baroness, Lady Lister, who is no longer in her place. She has placed importance behind the “power of play” petition which is going to be handed in to No. 10 on Monday by the Children’s Alliance. The enormously important work the charity and the noble Baroness are doing across the parties highlights the importance of play in schools. Play should be right from the early stage all the way through.
