My Lords, I warmly thank my noble friend Lord Murphy for securing this debate and the crystal clarity with which he set out the case for opera. I fear that, after such an excellent debate, I have very little to add, but I will speak in support of opera. I...

The department does not systematically collect information on what is taught by schools. The department has made it clear in the draft Relationships, Sex and Heath Education (RSHE) guidance that schools have to ensure that parents are aware of what their children are being taught, which provides the basis for most issues to be resolved locally.
The department’s draft guidance is very clear that schools should teach the facts about equality and the protected characteristics, including gender reassignment, but they should not include contested theory on gender identity in their teaching.
This cautious approach is in line with the draft guidance for schools and colleges on gender questioning pupils, which the department consulted on recently, and the recommendations from the Cass Review.

The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) places obligations on Parties to ensure international trade in wildlife is legal and sustainable.
Defra has worked closely with industry since leaving the EU to understand trade volumes and value, and to look at ways to minimise burdens and friction without reducing our high standards of environmental protection.
One option if travelling with a musical instrument for performance purposes is to apply for a CITES Musical Instrument Certificate (MIC). This is a streamlined process, specifically for musicians, which facilitates repeat movements over the course of three years. MICs are currently free of charge.
Defra will continue to work collaboratively with industry and other stakeholders to understand their needs, balance them against our duty to protect wildlife under the Convention, and identify priorities, as we prepare for the next meeting of the CITES Conference of Parties in 2025.

Cabotage access for UK road transport operators is included in Article 462 of the UK-EU Trade and Cooperation Agreement (TCA). Under the terms of that agreement, UK operators can undertake unlimited bilateral journeys to, from and through the EU.
Up to two additional movements (international movements between EU States or cabotage) may be undertaken within the EU following a laden journey from the UK, within a 7-day period. These rights are designed to support the efficient operation of UK international road haulage industry between the UK and EU and within the EU.
