Proceeding contribution from Lord Phillips of Sudbury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 18 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.

Education Bill

I am sorry to interrupt my noble friend the Minister, but he is wrong about these statistics. The JCHR misread the NASUWT statistics. I said in Grand Committee that, "““for the past three years there has been a decline””," in the number of allegations—and this is on the statistics in the JCHR report. In 2008, there were not 181, as there had been the previous year, "““but 148; in 2009, 115; and, last year, 107. Yet the Minister in the other place said that the number of allegations had increased, which is simply wrong””.—[Official Report, 6/7/11; col. GC 172.]" With great respect, I suggest to the Minister that he does not follow down that fallacious track.
