Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment he has made of the implications for his policies of the recommendations in the House of Lords Citizenship and Civic Engagement Committee’s report entitled The Ties that Bind: Citizenship and Civic Engagement in the 21st Century, published on 18 April 2018.

The House of Lords Citizenship and Civic Engagement Committee’s report covered a complex area with inter-linking themes. The policies and activities it examines span the responsibilities of several Government Departments as well as those of local authorities and other organisations.

The Government’s response was published on the 28 June and sets out in detail our assessment of the individual recommendations made. A copy can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/citizenship-and-civic-engagement-government-response-to-select-committee-report.
