Finally, I pay tribute to all those people who campaigned in the past for what I would call home education that is safe and works. They were almost laughed out of court and told that it was a nonsense, but they kept going, and they were right. I cannot remember his name, but there was a Labour Member of the House of Lords who introduced a Private Member’s Bill and nearly got it passed, but then we had Prorogation, so it did not happen. I remember that the noble Baroness, Lady Barran, introduced the famous Schools Bill, which nearly happened. Had it happened, and had academies not got in the way, we would now be almost on the road to home education.
