Proceeding contribution from Baroness Sharp of Guildford (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]

I agree that as the wording stands, it shall be a duty. We have some sympathy with what the noble Baroness says. The words ““to promote”” might cover the ground. On the comments made by the noble Baroness, Lady Howe, of course, not just one agency is involved in Section 10, as she knows perfectly well. A whole group is involved, so it is not a case of just picking out co-operation with one particular group. As the noble Baroness knows, it has been a long process of trying to mould co-operation and gain co-operation from all these agencies. It would be very sad to see this thrown away.
