Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (UK Independence Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education and Skills Bill.

Education and Skills Bill

I rise briefly to speak about criminalising young people. It is in the nature of things for 16 and 17-year-olds to be disaffected and to baulk at participation. There is a great feeling that the Government have not done enough to find a way around the problem of criminalising them. We currently have too big a Government, with too much interference in people's lives and too much of a nanny state. I urge the Minister—he is a good man who understands these things clearly—to look at the problem again and find an innovative way round it.
