Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 June 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Adoption Bill [HL].


Children and Adoption Bill [Lords]

I have practised in family law for 25 years and the problem results partly from the lack of full-time judges. However, there are not enough experienced CAFCASS officers so that, in north Wales, for example, there is a terrible delay of three months or even 16 weeks before a report is produced.
