Proceeding contribution from Earl of Listowel (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 30 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

In response to the noble Baroness’s remarks, I gave the example of a head teacher of an EBD school, who described a school trip to the seaside when the boy picked up a piece of glass. The teacher thought, ““This boy is rather dangerous and it is dangerous for him to have that glass in his pocket—the best thing to do is to quickly check his pocket and get rid of it””. That may be an exceptional circumstance, but I can imagine that in working with those particular groups that might be when those exceptional circumstances came into play.
