Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill: Consideration of Lords Message

The  Bill amended by the Lords returned to the Commons on 22 April 2026.

The Government’s amendment in lieu, which requires the Secretary of State to update Parliament on progress within six months of the Bill passing, if action has not already been taken by then, was rejected in the Lords. The Lords did not insist on Amendment 38, and proposed Lords Amendments 38V to 38X to Commons Amendment 38J.

A government Motion to insist on Amendment 38J and disagree with Lords Amendments 38V to 38X passed: Ayes 260, Noes 161
