Proceeding contribution from Baroness Bousted (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.
Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill
If that was the case, let me apologise for saying that. They have got better at inclusion, and the noble Baroness is quite right to upbraid me on that.
However, it is really important that there is a power to direct schools to take pupils in order that they get an education. Secondly, we need a way of organising an admissions system which allows all children within the locality to have a viable education with a full, broad and balanced curriculum.
