Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

Finally, my Amendment 134C reflects the recommendation of the DPRRC for the extension of the powers conferred by Section 25(2) and (7) of the Children Act to relevant accommodation should be subject to the draft affirmative procedure. The department has argued that it has applied the negative resolution procedure to its extended powers to be consistent with the original legislation, but this was passed before the creation of the Delegated Powers and Regulatory Reform Committee.
