Proceeding contribution from Lord Harris of Haringey (Labour) 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 am grateful to the noble Baroness for that invitation. As the House knows—I have referred to it at least once today—I pride myself on not being a lawyer. However, my understanding of the amendment and certainly its intention is that it concerns the agents of people who are vulnerable adults rather than vulnerable adults who, in other circumstances, are perfectly able to arrange matters themselves. I intend this amendment to cover people who are acting on their behalf.
