Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Stephen Morgan and Perran Moon

Monday 9th September 2024 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Morgan]

I am happy to meet the hon. Member to discuss the points that he has raised. Attendance and off-rolling are issues that the Government take very seriously, and we will set out more policies on them in due course.

[Perran Moon (Camborne and Redruth) (Lab)]

The last Government promised to publish a register of children who were not in school. I welcome the measures taken by this Government, but can the Minister update me on the next steps towards publication of the register?

[Stephen Morgan]

This Government have no time to waste if we are to fix the foundations of our country after 14 years of decline. We will legislate for the register through the children’s wellbeing Bill, which will be introduced as soon as parliamentary time allows, and which will support the Government’s work to ensure that every child has the best start in life.
