Speaking in the House of Lords on 28 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

I have attempted to set this out plainly and I hope to have provided reassurance, because I am aware that, although not specifically designed for yeshivas, the clause has caused concern among some Haredi Jews. I hope that this explanation makes clear the Government’s intentions and the practical effect of this clause and that, on that basis, the right reverend Prelate feels able to withdraw his amendment so that we can continue constructive discussions while ensuring that the intentions of this clause are realised in its implementation.
