My Lords, I have enjoyed listening to this debate, because it raises some important and difficult issues. I want to wait to hear what the Minister has to say, but with reference to Amendments 306 to 308, I am a little concerned about the number of teachers who would have to undergo this type of training. It would appear to be rather expensive, but, if it is really the best way forward, perhaps it is worth doing. On Amendment 306, the maintenance of good order and discipline at school or among pupils educated at the school, during a teaching session or otherwise, is a pretty tricky area. I would not want to see Amendment 308, with the use of physical prevention on a pupil leaving the room. I am all for using your authority, as far as is humanly possible, but physical prevention of somebody leaving a room is really going a little too far. I shall wait to be reassured on those issues by the Minister.
