Business of the House

I thank my hon. Friend for bringing this matter to my attention. The subject of the family justice system has already been raised. I will draw the matter to the attention of my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Justice. It is important that we do not allow the family justice system to be the poor relation of the criminal justice system. The work it does in ensuring that children can be taken into care can save children’s lives, but if it gets things wrong that can ruin the lives of both parents and children. I take on board his suggestion that we in this House should give greater consideration to that important work.
