Children and Adoption Bill [HL]

Perhaps I may comment on what the noble Lord has just said about ““time””. It is not only time; it is also roots; and it is also sleepovers. You can have quite a lot of time on Saturday afternoons in an agonising session when you do not quite know what to do, but if a child, for example, has his own room in each of his parent’s houses, that makes a huge difference to the child’s feeling of relating to both parents. That kind of thing also ought to be taken into account very seriously.
