[QUOTE="General Melchett, post: 1183707, member: 74895"] I wouldn't rule out a Labour Govt making it illegal in England in the future given that Welsh Labour did it in Wales. It's probably one of those issues where toffs and chavs are united. Maybe Labour would prefer to wait until enough red wall seats are safe before committing to anything. If I were a parent I'd be wanting to be guided by medical studies/data on this (as opposed to private schools convention). Sweden banned smacking way back in 1979. It's a bit disappointing that there wasn't a four nation approach on something like this - seems mad that smacking is banned in Scotland and Wales but not England and NI but that's devolution for you.
