Baroness Smith of Malvern (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 25 November 2025

Debate

Schools: Funding

Contribution

I am not sure that is unusual. It has always been the case that in order to benefit from a private education, you need to be able to afford it. The vast majority of children in this country attend state schools. That is why this Government are focusing our investment and our reform on those schools. That is the way to solve the problem of children from whatever background not receiving the education that they deserve.
