Proceeding contribution from Earl Howe (Conservative) 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]

““No”” is the answer to that. We have deliberately kept the two amendments separate. I wanted to introduce the principle of reasonable contact divorced from any specific suggestion of what kind of time allocation might be appropriate. My noble friend will speak to that amendment later. I ask the Grand Committee to keep that amendment separate from the case that I am trying to make now. Here we need to focus on the overarching principle.
