Schools: Pupil Premium

Debate between Baroness Whitaker and Lord Touhig

Wednesday 24th October 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord Touhig]

My Lords—

[Baroness Whitaker]

My Lords, is the Minister aware that almost all Roma children, no matter how poor they are, do not qualify for the pupil premium because their parents may not have been here long enough. What can the Government do to remedy this manifest inequality?
