I very much welcome the hon. Lady’s support for the steps the Government are taking, and I welcome her role in supporting relationship education in her previous role on the Opposition Front Bench.

It is important that we are sensitive to this particular topic and, given her interest in this area, I hope she will continue to stay involved.
