Proceeding contribution from Nick Gibb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.


Education Bill

I thought the hon. Gentleman supported these proposals. He will be aware that the National Union of Teachers and the NASUWT have compiled figures on such allegations against teachers. The NUT estimates there are about 200 a year, and we gave evidence to the Lords of at least 15 cases in the last few years where there were damaging local reports and publicity about the allegations before charges were brought.
