Finally, Amendments 164A, 175ZF and 254, tabled by the noble Lord, Lord Wei, seek to remove, respectively, Clauses 32 and 36 and Schedule 2 from the Bill. Much was said in Committee about Clause 32—on children not in school registers, the accompanying duties on parents and providers, and the duty for local authorities to provide support—and why it is needed urgently. Therefore, in the interests of time, I will not state the full case again. Clause 32 and Schedule 2 are also vital for the operation of the school attendance order process.
