Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for that response and much appreciate his words. His reply was very positive. However, we need to look at the matter again to make sure that we cover all the points that have been raised by previous speakers, whom I thank for reinforcing my sense of the anomaly in payments to kinship carers, particularly grandparents. I might tell my small grandson about Hell’s Grannies; it sounds like a pop group. We need an amendment or statutory guidance on kinship care which makes the matter clear. I think that the Minister has just done that, but I need to read the debate to make sure. We all need to read it to make sure that we have covered what we wanted to cover. There is a lot of experience and expertise in the Room, including in the Minister and his team. Surely we can come up with something which reassures all of us about payments to kinship carers, especially grandparents. I am sure that we shall have much discussion before Report and perhaps come up with something that is fitting. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clause 7 agreed to.
