| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “I am the MP for Leeds South West and Morley. I am a former maths teacher, and all my interests are declared on the website.” | 25 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Thank you for your answer.” | 5 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Have you seen any best practice at all that you think could be applied to organisations where it is not working?” | 21 |

| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “To the other panel members, in your view, what are the barriers to the take-up of prison education by prisoners? What is stopping people who want to take up education in prisons from doing so?” | 35 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “That is interesting. You would say it is about the leadership of the prisons as opposed to the safeguarding. I was a maths teacher in another life, and often safeguarding in schools is the No. 1 reason that they tend to become inadequate; but when it comes to prisons, it is actually leadership and management.” | 55 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Before I move on to ask the other panel members, is there a core or central reason that keeps coming up as to why so many provisions are being declared inadequate?” | 31 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Thank you, Chair. Lee, you have already mentioned the figure of 86% of all inspections—was that within five years?” | 19 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “Thank you for your answer.” | 5 |

| 11 Mar 2025 | Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 469) “That is just over the last year. Something like 87% of all inspections over the last five years have been inadequate or requires improvement, so the state of prison education is not good. What needs to be done to improve it?” | 41 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “You have answered the first part brilliantly. The second part of the question is, how could schools make sure they meet the needs of all their students, regardless of their ability, background or need?” | 34 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “Yes.” | 1 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “This is a question for you all, but I might start with Catherine, if that is okay. Is the DFE’s definition of an inclusive mainstream education clear across early years, across schools and across further education? If that is not clearly defined, how should it be defined?” | 47 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “Brilliant, thank you very much.” | 5 |
| 11 Mar 2025 | Education Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 492) “Thank you. Are there any final thoughts?” | 7 |
