Proceeding contribution from William Cash (Conservative) 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

That, if I may say so, is something that we need to discuss. The Liberal Democrat proposal in new clause 10 would amend the Children Act 2004, and presumably the Government have a view on that—[Interruption.] The Liberal Democrats' chief spokesman, the hon. Member for Yeovil (Mr. Laws), indicates that he is not at all sure that the Government have a view on this, but we shall see in due course whether they do. The Government introduced the Children Act 2004, and the Liberal Democrats propose to amend section 58 of it, which deals with the question of reasonable punishment and represents the Government's position in law at the moment.
