Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.


Education and Skills Bill

had given notice of her intention to move Amendment No. 69: 69: Before Clause 69, insert the following new Clause— ““Personal, social and health education In section 84 of the Education Act 2002 (c. 32) (curriculum requirements for first, second and third key stages), after subsection (3)(g), insert— ““(ga) personal, social and health education, and””.”” The noble Baroness said: My Lords, as with an earlier group of amendments, I have agreed behind the scenes not to move this amendment in exchange for a meeting with the Minister, at which I will have the opportunity of asking my questions. However, I will not resist heartily congratulating the noble Baroness on the Government’s recently announced proposals on PSHE. I also congratulate other colleagues in this House, particularly the noble Baronesses, Lady Gould and Lady Massey, on supporting me in constantly returning to this issue, which I hope has been effective in persuading the Government to make their move. I simply ask the Minister to hold her nerve on this matter, despite some of the things that are being said in the press. [Amendments Nos. 69 not moved.] [Amendment No. 70 not moved.] Clause 70 [Provision of transport etc for persons of sixth form age: duty to consider journey times]:
