Proceeding contribution from Parmjit Dhanda (Labour) 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]

In all honesty, I do not have the figures with me. I agree with the right hon. Member for Suffolk, Coastal (Mr. Gummer) that more work and research is needed in this area. However, the courts have ample powers at their disposal. There is a sliding scale of compensatory contact, ending in a change of custody. There are provisions already to reverse residence orders. It is interesting to see what can be done.
