Children with allergies are set to receive mandatory protection in schools as Benedict's Law in memory of a little boy from Stamford,
Benedict Blythe, took a major step forward last night as it was backed by the House of Lords. It is to amend the Children's Well-being in Schools Bill to require every school to have spare adrenaline pens on hand and to ensure all staff are trained in allergies and anaphylaxis, as well as for each school to have an allergy policy. Rutland and Stamford MP Alicia Kearns brought it to the House.
‘So now it's passed in the Lords. The next step is that we have something called ping pong where it goes back to the Commons and Lords say, look, we like the Bill or we don't like the Bill, but these, the changes we want made to it if you go forward with it. Then it will be the people in the Commons to vote with it and I'll be making sure that in the Commons I make those arguments. But actually my message to the Government is don't make us vote on this again, accept the amendment, don't bring it to another vote’.
