Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL].

Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [HL]

My Lords, I rise to speak to Amendment No. 8, which is grouped with Amendment No. 5. We thoroughly support the noble Baroness, Lady Buscombe, in her Amendment No. 5, and we are also looking forward to hearing what the Minister has to say. Clause 14 lists a whole series of possible exceptions to the monitoring check. There was extensive discussion about them both in Grand Committee and on Report, with a great deal of unhappiness expressed on all sides of the Chamber about some aspects of them. We have again sought to leave out Clause 14 in order to give the Minister a chance to inform the House and put on the record the developments in his thinking on these issues and on how this matter might be carried forward.
