Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Kevin Hollinrake and Nick Gibb

Monday 23rd November 2020 Commons Chamber

[Nick Gibb]

This was the Government Equalities Office scheme to support a number of anti-LGBT bullying schemes. I have seen these schemes in action myself, and they are very good indeed. We will be looking at what more the DFE can do after the spending review to ensure that our anti-bullying programmes are LGBT-inclusive.

[Kevin Hollinrake (Thirsk and Malton) (Con)]

Before we had even heard the dreaded word “covid”, the excellent headteacher Rob Williams at Malton School had put in place a scheme to provide an iPad to all children, and completely free to children accessing the pupil premium. Would my right hon. Friend agree that this should be a national exemplar and rolled out as best practice to other schools around the country?
