Olivia Bailey

Labour — Reading West and Mid Berkshire

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I have been clear with the hon. Member about our determination to act swiftly. These measures are a ceiling, not an ambition. We will act swiftly, reporting by the summer and then acting within 12 months. To conclude, I urge hon. Members to support the Government’s motions before the House today, including our amendments in lieu. Throughout the Bill’s passage, we have listened to concerns from all parts of the House and made meaningful changes where needed. We will continue to listen to all stakeholders as we move into implementation.
