That this House acknowledges and celebrates the hard work of the many home educators in Britain who teach their children to an exceptionally high standard; recognises the excellent value they represent to the Government; notes with concern the conflation of welfare concerns with education issues in Government statements on home education; further notes with concern the recommendations of the Badman Review which suggest closer monitoring of home educators, including a compulsory annual registration scheme and right of access to people's homes for local authority officials; and calls on the Government to focus on its own ability to fulfil the Every Child Matters objectives rather than undermine the independence and integrity of home educators by enforcing the Badman recommendations.

That this House expresses its concerns at proposals in the Extradition Bill allowing British citizens to be extradited for offences that are not criminal in the UK; believes that extradition should only apply to serious offences to guard against thousands of individuals being sent abroad for very minor or trivial offences; further believes that the list of offences in the Bill that can give rise to extradition is too vague and too wide and includes unacceptably ambiguous offences such as computer related crime; and further believes that the passage of the Bill represents a serious and unwarranted attack on the civil liberties of all those resident in the United Kingdom.
