Schools: Uniforms

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Nash on 19 September (HL1491), when they anticipate a suitable legislative opportunity will arise to put the guidance on school uniform policies on a statutory footing.

Answer

We intend to put the school uniform guidance on a statutory footing when a suitable legislative opportunity arises. No education bill was announced in the most recent Queen’s speech, which set out the proposed legislative programme for this session of Parliament. We therefore anticipate that the next opportunity to consider a suitable slot for this measure will be in the second session of this Parliament.
