However, as I have said, we have moved on this. We recognise the strength of feeling on this issue, both in this House and beyond. That is why today, to recognise that—notwithstanding the fact that we think the guidance already in place provides head teachers and schools with a range of approaches to be able to deliver the objective that we all share—we are committing to tabling an amendment in lieu, which will place the existing guidance on a statutory footing in the Bill, creating a clear legal requirement for schools.
