The passage of the government’s flagship schools bill has been delayed by the new government amid a review of current reforms, Schools Week has learned.
The third reading of the bill in the House of Lords, which was due to take place next Wednesday, has now been postponed to a date “to be announced”, according to Parliament’s website. Peers have been told it won’t take place next week.
Schools Week understands new prime minister Liz Truss and her team are reviewing all current legislation, including the schools bill, following her victory in the Conservative leadership election on Monday.
