Apprenticeships, Skills, Children and Learning Bill

I am sorry to delay the Committee, but does the Minister accept that the answer probably lies not in either good screening or good observation but in a combination of the two to back each other up? Do not get me wrong: this situation is a case of, "You wouldn’t want to start from here". Everybody has been trying to find solutions and we have found, as we have gone into it, that awareness of the problem has expanded. I appreciate that the Government have gone on to new ground, but they are the Government and they are supposed to do that. Does the Minister not agree that there is some case for some form of screening—if not in all of these conditions, then in some of them—which, enhanced by greater teacher awareness, stands a much better chance of not missing people?
