Baroness Bennett of Manor Castle (GP)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 17 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

The noble Lord has just essentially agreed with what I said, that some of these entities are financially unstable and uncertain. Would the noble Lord understand, at least, the argument that it is better to bring these back? These facilities are going to have to stay open: we need them. It is better to bring them back into non-profit hands in an orderly manner rather than, if one of these private equity companies goes down, having an immediate crisis. What do the Government do then?
