Lords ChamberMy Lords, I note that the noble Lord, Lord Pearson, has been trying to get in for some time and has graciously given way each time.
I am most grateful. Do the Government know what is being taught in our some 2,000 madrassas, which are not inspected by Ofsted, and which teach Muslim children about Islam and to recite the Koran for perhaps 20 hours a week? If the Government do not know what is going on there—and Written Answers to me confirm that they do not—should they not find out?
