Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 January 2026

Debate

Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill

Contribution

If the Government were to properly examine what is happening in Wales—and that would require more information than the Welsh Government have hitherto released—it would show that banning smacking is both unjust and counterproductive. I therefore invite your Lordships’ House to reject this sincere but nevertheless wrong-headed amendment.
