Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hughes of Stretford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Adoption Bill (HL).


Children and Adoption Bill

That is not the case. Much of the money that I mentioned is going to local level. Contact centres for supervised access that are run and managed by voluntary agencies have a great role to play. It is not the case that that money is simply for Government or local authority-run centres. By and large, they are run in partnership with voluntary agencies. We want that to continue because they have great expertise. Many parents find the concept of supervised contact undertaken by a voluntary agency more palatable than the concept of supervised contact at a centre run by a local authority or by the Government.
