Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

My last point is this. I ask the right reverend Prelate to consider this. I think he has tabled this amendment to protect yeshivas, but it opens up the ability of anyone of any faith to set up a school where children are getting religious instruction from 8 am to 6 pm and home education after that. That is a direction of travel that we would not wish to embark on, so I oppose the amendment.
