Proceeding contribution from Lord Rosser (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 December 2011. It occurred during Committee proceeding and Debate on bill on Protection of Freedoms Bill.

Protection of Freedoms Bill

The Minister has raised a number of issues, but could he confirm that under the Government’s proposals a child of five could say no, even though the parents had said yes, and it would be the view of the child of five that prevailed? If a 15 year-old agrees and one parent says no and one says yes, will the Government then seek to uphold the right of the 15 year-old? Also, he said that under my proposal the 15 year-old would be dragged kicking and screaming. Could he just confirm that school teachers are not allowed to use force against pupils, or has the government policy changed?
