  Education and Inspections Bill
  
  --- MOTION EFFECT ---
  
  The majority Not Contents defeated <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?gid=2006-10-30c.1.298">an Amendment</a> to the <a href="http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/ld200506/ldbills/158/2006158.pdf">the the Education and Inspections Bill</a> which would have provided for teachers and other school staff facing allegations of criminal behaviour towards children to remain anonymous until charges were brought, to protect against malicious allegations.
  
  <a href="http://www.theyworkforyou.com/lords/?gid=2006-10-30c.1.307">The Government position</a> was that existing guidance ensured that every effort should be made to maintain confidentiality, and that there was no mechanism to implement enforced anonymity, but that consultations were continuing.
