Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

We are currently testing, via the early adopter scheme, how the free 30-minute clubs work alongside and build on the best breakfast club provision that already exists. We will commit to sharing our findings with the House, but I hope I have already explained why we think the universal free provision that we have included within this legislation, and is our manifesto commitment, is the right approach. Our starting point is getting the benefits of the club to as many pupils as possible, and we want to see how early adopters do that, as well as spreading best practice on how they use their flexibilities for enriching activities.
