Proceeding contribution from Barry Sheerman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.
Education Bill
I think the Minister was here listening to the debate earlier, but the Select Committee's report on the matter ranged pretty broadly and made some reasonably positive suggestions for change. When home educators were good they were very good indeed, but the Committee received evidence that some people who did not want to send their children to school could legally refrain from sending them—they would not be prosecuted—by saying that they were home educating them, when there was very little evidence that those children were being educated at all.
