Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 April 2025

Debate

National Centre for Arts and Music Education

Contribution

I start my reply by thanking my noble friend for her contribution in this area in the other place and her continuing interest in our noble House. I assure her that the department will engage with music hubs and the wider sector to establish how the national centre can best support improving outcomes for children and young people—including, as she quite rightly mentioned, those who need adapted instruments. Both of the questions she raised are significant and important. In the current climate, monitoring progress and re-engagement after absence, for whatever reason, is certainly a topical issue and a consideration that I know will be brought forward during the consultation. We look forward to the outcome with interest.
