Finally, Motion B relates to Amendment 102, tabled in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Barran. Amendment 102 seeks to limit the circumstances in which the independent adjudicator can specify a lower published admission number, or PAN, following an upheld objection. I know—we have heard this during the debate and, again, this is an objective we share—that we want to ensure that all children can access a great local school. We have been clear that we want good schools to offer more places where this is right for the local area, and that school quality and parental choice must be at the heart of any decisions on PAN.
