In discussing both petitions, Members acknowledged the strong feelings surrounding the issue, particularly its impact on faith schools, Welsh-medium schools, and pupils from low-income families. Members noted that although the matter has previously been examined in the Senedd by the Children and Young People Committee and raised during a short debate led by Heledd Fychan MS, concerns remain. Recognising the significance of the issue for families, the Committee agreed to write to the Business Committee to request a debate on the petition.
