The Teaching Council (vetting and protection of children and vulnerable persons) Bill is promised legislation to put in place statutory provisions underpinning the role of the Teaching Council in the vetting arrangements for registered teachers. To what extent has the preparation of that Bill advanced? When is it likely to come before the House?

The climate action and low carbon development Bill is promised legislation that I have raised on a number of occasions over the past 12 months. When is it likely to come before the House? Have the heads been cleared by the Government? Is it likely to be passed this year?

The climate action and low carbon development Bill is complicated. It is being worked upon, and it will be the next session before it is actually published and dealt with.

The Teaching Council (vetting and protection of children and vulnerable persons) is due for next year.
