Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 14 November 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Adoption Bill [HL].


Children and Adoption Bill [HL]

My Lords, it defeats me to understand how I can press an amendment to an amendment that does not exist. I welcome the support of the noble Baroness, Lady Pitkeathley, on the importance of child-centredness, and that of the noble Baroness. I shall not press the amendment this afternoon, but if the noble Earl succeeds in his amendment, or perhaps redrafts it, I may come at it again to attempt to amend whatever he may have done at that time. In the meantime, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment No. 3, as an amendment to Amendment No. 2, by leave, withdrawn.
