Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 July 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Education and Inspections Bill.

Education and Inspections Bill

Before the noble Lord, Lord Dearing, rises to respond, perhaps I may make three points. First, our Amendments Nos. 5 and 22 are not like Amendments Nos. 3 and 4 which seek to repeal and amend the 1996 Act; nor would we want to repeal or amend Section 10 of the Children Act 2004. Can the noble Lord confirm that an alternative approach—it is one we might consider at the Report stage—to mention in this Bill the duties under Section 10 of the 2004 Act in order to emphasise the importance of the well-being and the best interests of the child without falling into the trap he has outlined? Would he like to respond straightaway or shall I make my other two points?
