Proceeding contribution from Lord Sutherland of Houndwood (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

My Lords, may I remind the Minister that it takes two to tango? Some parents will co-operate—indeed, they may have to be deterred from co-operating—but there are others who, sadly, show no inclination to do so. I hope that in his remarks in subsequent sittings, he will address the question of what, if anything, legislation can do in that area. The co-operation of parents is absent in many cases, difficult to achieve but fundamentally important.
