Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.

Education and Inspections Bill

I accept the case given by the noble Lord would be a reasonable justification. However, in many cases parents in receipt of a telephone call—we are not talking about two days of delay for a letterto arrive—would be perfectly capable of taking responsibility to their children at an hour or two’s notice. Although I accept the noble Lord’s case and believe that the Bill makes provision for it, he will probably accept that in many cases putting this responsibility on parents would be a perfectly appropriate thing to do.
