Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
The noble Baroness, Lady Barran, questioned the need for this measure, given the numbers to which it might apply. Even if numbers are small, it is vital that we can ensure that some of our most vulnerable children can be found a school place as quickly as possible. Our data is clear that this happens more quickly when local authorities can make directions themselves.
