Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 8 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

Perhaps I can make one more point before the noble Lord continues. Clause 4 ends the piloting period and therefore makes the social work practices introduced by Clause 1 permanent. In fact, it pre-empts the outcome of the pilots by providing for powers to institute regulation and registration of providers. It would ensure that, if the pilots were rolled out across the country, regulations would be in place for them. In a way, Clause 4 pre-empts the result of the pilots, which is why we have given notice of our intention to oppose not just Clause 1 stand part but every clause in Part 1.
