Speaking in the House of Lords on 3 February 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

“The fact that, even now, the Convention has not been incorporated … into our domestic law says much about our systems. And it is not a matter for pride. If it is probably utopian to imagine that any Government within any reasonably foreseeable future will decide to incorporate the Convention in English law, is there any good reason why we should not, at least, follow Wales? If section 1 of the Measure is good for the Welsh—as it obviously is—then why not also for the English?”
