School Trips to the United Kingdom

Debate between Lord Murray of Blidworth and Lord Haselhurst

Monday 19th June 2023 Lords Chamber

[Lord Murray of Blidworth (Con)]

I am unfamiliar with the details of the Turing scheme, but I will certainly look into it and write to the noble Baroness.

[Lord Haselhurst (Con)]

While a system for the long term is being worked on, one way to lessen the problems at the moment would be to invest more in schooling across the board. I have seen that in operation in places where schools have, at certain times, a curriculum that is identical to that of other partners. That might at least do something to close the gap that exists at the moment.

[Lord Murray of Blidworth (Con)]

That may well be a very good idea. I am afraid that I am not in a position to comment on that at the moment, but I will certainly look into it.
