An education Bill to be unveiled in the Queen\’s Speech on Wednesday will create a set of pupil and parent “guarantees” for the first time – outlining what families can expect from the state school system in England.

All will be forgiven if you can tell me if there is a named law regarding spelling errors in any comment about spelling errors.
