Lord Foulkes of Cumnock Excerpts(1 year, 10 months ago)
Lords ChamberRead Full debate Read Hansard Text Read Debate Ministerial Extracts
Baroness Barran (Con)
The Government share my noble friend’s concern. To be clear, in the primary citizenship curriculum pupils learn about where money comes from, how it can be used for different purposes and how to save for the future. In secondary school pupils learn about the importance and practice of budgeting, income and expenditure, insurance, savings, pensions and financial products. I think these are many of the things to which my noble friend referred.
Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab Co-op)
My Lords, could the Minister sign up the Tory leadership candidates for one of these courses?
Baroness Barran (Con)
I think the House will appreciate that that is way above my pay grade.
