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, I should like briefly to support the amendment. If we are to persuade parents to settle early between themselves the future arrangements for parenting their children, they need to have some idea what will happen if they do not. There is a need for parents to know what they can expect if they do not settle these arrangements themselves. The amendment seems to me to fulfil that objective without having any other great objections to it.
