Clause 47

Nick Gibb (Shadow Minister, Children, Schools and Families; Bognor Regis and Littlehampton, Conservative)
I understand the Minister’s point, but the ethos that seems to prevail in her custody settings in this country differs from other countries. Since so much is laid out in legislation that is of less significance than the issue that we are discussing, the hon. Lady is wrong not to accept the amendment, which would put into the Bill that young people in custody should be able to access up to 30 hours a week of education. Given that we regard education important for young people in custody, I intend to test the Committee’s view on the amendment.
