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 was contemplating reading your Lordships a chunk of Chetneys Family Law on deserving and undeserving fathers but, at this late hour, I shall spare the House. It is all very well working on the superstructure of the arrangements for helping separating parents and children, but if the foundation is not right the whole building may collapse. Part of the foundation is knowing the obligations of all kinds of different fathers and mothers. With that thought, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendments Nos. 22 and 23 not moved.]
