Proceeding contribution from Annette Brooke (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children, Schools and Families Bill.


Children, Schools and Families Bill

I think that I have given way enough. We believe the most practical reform in this context is to amend section 58 of the Children Act 2004. The Government introduced that measure the last time we discussed this, and it was a compromise. We want the defence of reasonable punishment to be available only to those with parental responsibility.
