Labour — Houghton and Sunderland South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 10 March 2025

Debate

Regional Improvement for Standards and Excellence Teams

Contribution

The hon. Lady is right to identify the disadvantage gaps that exist in many parts of the country, and the challenge in her part of the country. We believe that local authorities have an important role to play, working with trust leaders and others to drive up standards. That is why, through the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, we are bringing forward measures to ensure that the system works together more effectively, including in areas such as admissions and place planning.
