Baroness Barran (Con)
Citizenship education is absolutely a core part of what we deliver. In defence of the White Paper, we were setting out the major new elements of our plan for the next several years, but citizenship remains a core part of it.
Lord Cashman (Lab)

Baroness Barran (Con)
To the extent that it is within my gift, I will do my best.
