MP calls for return of tawse to Scottish schools

 

In 2006, 20 years after corporal punishment was abolished in schools in Scotland, a member of parliament called for it to be brought back.

“Bring back the belt, it does us no harm, and possibly the youth of the country would benefit from this,” John Swinburne, a Member of the Scottish Parliament, told the BBC Reporting Scotland programme.

Two thirds of the people who responded to a BBC online poll wanted the belt brought back.
