Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2026
Debate
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools BillContribution
I turn to the comprehensive package of government amendments, which I am pleased to hear from noble Lords have addressed some of the concerns raised both previously and today. First, we have reflected on concerns raised about potential burdens relating to the provision of information on education providers. While it remains important that registers record information on education provided by those other than parents, we agree that that should be limited to what is necessary. Government Amendments 138 and 148 will mean that parents need only give information on other persons or organisations where they educate the child for more than a prescribed amount of time. We will set out that time in regulation, subject to the affirmative parliamentary procedure, and we intend to align it with the threshold attached to the duty on providers to supply information.
