Corporal punishment

Summary

Stagg asked whether corporal punishment would return; the Minister endorsed its abolition.

Will the Minister confirm to the House that under no circumstances in regard to the subject matter we are dealing with will she agree to the return of the savagery of corporal punishment?

Comment on this

A previous Minister abolished corporal punishment. I am in complete agreement with that decision.
