Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 20:02I thank the right hon. Lady for raising that specific point, but it is clear in the guidance that an item can be loaned as long as it is not compulsory. That is a perfectly reason…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:51If the hon. Gentleman writes to me about that case, I am happy to look into it for him. Off-rolling absolutely should not be happening. Let me turn to the crucial issue of allergi…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:49Absolutely—I can give that assurance. I am afraid that I cannot take any further interventions, because I must get through the last section of my speech. Let me turn to Lords amen…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:49I agree with my hon. Friend about the importance of sibling relationships. Lords amendment 17 would do little to advance that cause, but the reforms that we are driving forward on…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:46I am sorry but I am going to make some progress. I will now turn to the amendments relating to looked-after children and deprivation of liberty. Lords amendment 16 concerns a prop…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:45I thank the hon. Gentleman for that important intervention; I will turn to that matter in due course. The Government cannot support Lords amendment 44 on principle. Extending the…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:43Sorry, but I have to make progress as I have so much to get through. Turning to part 2 of the Bill and schools, we are taking forward our historic strategy to lift children out of…
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
2026-03-09 · 19:43Children’s voices are heard rarely in this place and are too often ignored in our society, so I say at the outset that it is truly a special privilege to play my part in the passa…
World Book Day
2026-03-05 · 16:07Six! I misheard the hon. Member; I do apologise. And I am sure that they really enjoy listening to him read to them. My hon. Friend the Member for Isle of Wight West (Richard Quig…
World Book Day
2026-03-05 · 16:04I am not sure it is possible to follow that, although I congratulate the hon. Member for Windsor (Jack Rankin) on his efforts and his speech entirely in rhyme. It is a pleasure to…
Topical Questions
2026-03-02 · 15:31I am sorry to hear about the closure of the school in the right hon. Lady’s constituency, but closures of private schools have been in line with historical trends. All pupils are…
Topical Questions
2026-03-02 · 15:24I welcome and celebrate the launch of the Southampton literary festival by Bitterne Park school, and I thank my hon. Friend for all his advocacy in his constituency. The National…
