Baroness Uddin (Non-Afl)
My Lords, there is no gentlemen’s agreement on this side, so I am going to keep standing. This is another plan with which I am not very familiar. Will the Minister ensure that the plan embeds this country’s rich heritage, which enriches our children’s understanding, knowledge and respect for history, which has been talked about? It created the anti-slavery movement and the movements against colonisation and apartheid, which has resulted in this country becoming a beacon of multiculturalism.
Baroness Barran (Con)
The plan is quite clear that cultural education has an important social value, helping children recognise the value and richness of the different communities that make up our great nation.
