Acknowledged
Government response to Conclusion twelve and Recommendation two: We are grateful for the continued support from policy experts and stakeholders who have advised the Department, provided Oral and Written Evidence, and given evidence to the Committee. We note that the Chair of the Education Select Committee welcomed assurances on these amendments from Ministers during the Report Stage of the Bill in the Commons. We also thank the Committee for their engagement since the Bill was introduced. This includes a ministerial call on introduction day in December 2024 and a meeting between policy officials and Education Select Committee members on 7th January 2025 before the Second Reading of the Bill on 8th January to discuss the Bill and any concerns members may have had. We look forward to further engagement with the Committee on this landmark legislation as the Bill progresses through the Second House, and to delivering manifesto commitments.
