Speaking in the House of Lords on 9 June 2025

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I will not run through everything, but I will pick up on the intervention by the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, on Amendments 169 and 172, which I think there is a need to come back to. If a woman has had a series of babies removed and no longer has a child, it will be very tempting for local services, since they do not have any statutory responsibility, to see that as not coming under their remit. Unless there is a specific step taken here, it is an awful problem that will keep reoccurring, at great human and personal cost.
