Early day motion 1152, tabled 29 November 2005 by Dan Norris (Labour). Signed by 72 members.

That this House notes bullying is always wrong, that bullying should be punished, and that children who bully need to understand the full seriousness of their actions; condemns Liberal Democrat controlled Bristol City Council for its continuing recommendation to teachers that they should not punish or blame pupils who bully other pupils; and calls on that Council to amend urgently its ill-judged and dangerous anti-bullying guidance to schools.
