Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Andrew Rosindell and Georgia Gould

Monday 14th September 2026 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for School Standards (Georgia Gould)]

I am deeply sorry to hear about the experience of my hon. Friend’s constituent; nobody should have to go through that. We want every school to be an inclusive school, in which there teachers are trained and there are experts on hand to support children, so that no one is in that position in future.

[Andrew Rosindell (Romford) (Reform)]

Will the Secretary of State for Education join me in commending my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Fareham and Waterlooville (Suella Braverman) on her proposal that every school in the land should fly the Union flag every day of the year, and that every school should sing the national anthem at assembly at least once a week? Is that not a policy that the Government could implement now, instead of waiting for a Reform UK Government to implement it?

Does the Secretary of State agree that we should prioritise the promotion of British heritage in schools? If so, will she bring in a policy to ensure that every school flies the Union Jack outside its premises, and that a different pupil gets the chance to raise the national flag every morning?

[Georgia Gould]

We already teach British values, and we are proud to teach our British heritage and our past to set us up for the future.
