Proceeding contribution from Baroness Howarth of Breckland (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 11 October 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Adoption Bill [HL].


Children and Adoption Bill [HL]

I did not say anything about satisfaction. I am prepared to do so if the noble Baroness wishes. In any contested situation such as this, one will always have one party who is dissatisfied. One of the things that, throughout the debate, we will have to recognise is that marital dispute is therefore carried on into the forum of the court and, indeed, into wider society. The activities that we see some groups carrying out are the acting out of the dismay and distress that they feel. So satisfaction is not something that I spoke about before, but I am prepared to do so.
