Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL]

My Lords, I have added my name to the group of amendments in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Buscombe. As I understand that the amendment moved by the noble Lord, Lord Harris of Haringey, refers only to agents of vulnerable people who are in receipt of direct payment, I also support his amendment. It is the agents who need to have the obligation to do the checks. They are the people who I want to reach whichever amendment we pass. I do not mind which one it is. Perhaps the noble Lord, Lord Harris of Haringey, would like the opportunity to clarify that point.
