Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Renton (Conservative). It was answered on Wednesday, 26 April 2006.


Fathers

Question
My Lords, is the noble Lord aware that fathers who are married have considerable responsibilities, which do not need to be enlarged, but that fathers who are unmarried, perhaps even fathers who are divorced, need to have their responsibilities considered carefully?
Answer

My Lords, I agree with the noble Lord. That is precisely why we published parenting plans, which are now widely available, setting out the responsibilities of separating parents for their children to ensure that they take their responsibilities seriously.
