THIS WEEK IN PARLIAMENT
The main debate today will be on the Second Reading of the Lifelong Learning (Higher Education Fee Limits) Bill. This will allow the government's Lifelong Loan Entitlement to be rolled out from 2025. The idea is to support more people to take high-quality courses that meet the skills needs of employers, and that will get them into good jobs.
Tomorrow, the main debate will be Labour opposition day motions, which are yet to be announced.
On Wednesday, there's a tenminute rule bill which seeks to prevent people accused of sex offences from changing their names.
The main debate is the remaining stages of the Social Housing (Regulation) Bill, including an instruction motion to allow the government to add new clauses requiring social housing providers to tackle hazards to tenants. This follows the case of two-year-old Awaab Ishak, who died in 2020, following "chronic exposure" to mould in a flat owned by social housing provider, Rochdale Boroughwide Housing.
