Debate between Lord Nash and Baroness Gould of Potternewton

Thursday 24th November 2016 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Gould of Potternewton]

My Lords, I am very pleased to hear the Minister say that he is rolling out PSHE; that is great. He referred to a review on SRE. Perhaps he could tell us who is participating in the review, what the timing is, and whether it will take into account that all the evidence shows that at least 70% of parents, 70% of school governors and 70% of teachers believe that SRE should be a statutory subject on the curriculum.

[Lord Nash]

As I said, we are actively considering what our next steps should be. It may well be that such a review will be one of them.
