As part of The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, the UK Government has commissioned a free book for all Primary school age children across the United Kingdom to celebrate the achievements of the Monarch over the last 70 years.
The Welsh Government, who are responsible for education in Wales, have decided that pupils will not automatically receive this book, and schools need to opt-in and order these books.
Today, I raised my disappointment in the Commons that the Welsh Government has taken this stance which makes it unnecessarily difficult for children to receive the commemorative book.
