Conduct Of The Right Honourable Member For Sedgefield

EDM number 960 in 1995-96, proposed by Harry Greenway on 06/06/1996.

That this House notes that, despite his confession to having smacked his own children, the Leader of the Labour Party voted on a free vote of the House against moderate and reasonable corporal punishment in schools in 1986, thus removing a very valuable disciplinary sanction from teachers acting in loco parentis to the nation's children.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
