“A new attempt to ban smacking will be launched tomorrow by a cross-party group of MPs, as more than 100 Labour backbenchers demand a free vote on the issue. MPs, led by Kevin Barron, the Labour chairman of the all-party Commons Health Committee, are attempting to stop parents from smacking their children as a ‘reasonable punishment.’ They will table amendments to the Children and Young Persons Bill, due to be debated by the Commons tomorrow, to give children the same protection against assault as adults.” (10/07/08) Link: http://tinyurl.com/3hz2wh Filed under: LAND News and RRND News | Report Bad Link Bookmark this post in Furl or Del.icio.us | |
