Education Bill

Proceeding contribution from Nick Gibb (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 November 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Education Bill.
The measure is about incentives. If a not-for-profit or commercial operation seeks to ensure that there are no errors, the exponential cost of ensuring that there are zero errors is a cost to that organisation, so the fining powers provide an equal and opposite cost to the organisations that do not incur those costs to do their best to eliminate errors. That is the purpose of the fining provisions.
