Conservative — Sevenoaks

Speaking in the House of Commons on 27 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

My right hon. Friend is always correct to be worried, but he will know that in Lord Nash’s amendment a 12-month delay was written in. I think it is reasonable to give the Government some time to bring the measure forward. As I said, the delay is not as short as I would like, but we have shown throughout the passage of the Bill—albeit a little too late, as I mentioned to the Minister—that we are able to compromise. I think we have shown good faith and I hope that is what the Government will now deliver on. Politics matters. It can make a difference. We have shown tonight that when we come together we can deliver in the interests of children.
