Speaking in the House of Lords on 27 April 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I agree with Laura. That is why, having read the guidance, and more importantly, having just listened to the Minister at the Dispatch Box, I can say that the assurances she has given, in particular the guidance that the Department for Education expects schools to implement a policy whereby pupils do not have access to mobile phones throughout the day, including during lessons, the times between lessons, break times and lunchtimes, are the reassurances that the campaigners who came to your Lordships’ House and those outside were seeking.
