Proceeding contribution from Lord Russell of Liverpool (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 19 January 2026. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill.

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

My Lords, as the noble Lord, Lord Young, said, I tabled this amendment in Committee. I also pay tribute to Siobhain McDonagh for having pursued this for many years and the way in which she has worked with different parts of government to try to work through the issues. It was always really about the children and not about the problems that government has in doing this. I will now make a very lengthy peroration and simply say thank you.
