Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) 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 am very sorry to disappoint the hon. Gentleman, but it was the Education Act 1996 that banned the use of corporal punishment in full-time maintained schools and full-time independent schools, not any 1998 Act. It was not to do with human rights; it was to do with the Conservative Government of 1996 doing the right thing—perhaps with, or perhaps without, his support.
