Lord Watson of Invergowrie (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I thank my noble friend for the points that she has made. She referenced the update that came out in April, but that does not go far enough to meet recommendation 6 of IICSA, which talks about access to courts. It seems to me that there is an inconsistency between that and what the Home Secretary said in January about implementing all 20 recommendations, if the update is—if I understand my noble friend correctly—as far as the Government are prepared to go in this aspect of it at this stage.
