Children and Families Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Knight of Weymouth (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 28 January 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Children and Families Bill.

The noble Baroness will know that the previous Government, when I was the Minister, tried to introduce compulsory sex and relationship education. Were we to agree the amendment with her support tonight, does she not agree that it would be delivered by PSHE teachers and members of the PSHE subject association—who gave me a standing ovation when I announced compulsory SRE, which is the only time I ever had one in the middle of a speech —and that that would take us a long way down the road she wants us to go down in terms of everyone getting the education for life that she has campaigned for with compulsory PSHE?
