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


Education Bill

As my hon. Friend knows, I am sympathetic to the Government's intentions in this regard as well, but I am concerned about press freedom and I would be grateful if he could set out the case for teachers alone being given this exemption from publicity. Such allegations could be equally devastating to members of a different profession. Might this provision prove to be the thin end of the wedge in that there could be a great deal more press censorship and the public will not be able to know about allegations made against people in their local community?
