Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I thank the Minister for his characteristically sympathetic reply on my amendments. I found what he said very encouraging. I shall go away and study it in detail, but it seems to me that what he said meets the anxieties that I expressed. I just make the point—I think that I have already made it this afternoon—that sometimes the use of generic language can leave an area of doubt, and therefore some specificity in what is meant by a term can be helpful. I ask him to think about that.

I understand that point, but there is a happy medium. I am sure that my noble friend will carry out his undertaking to reflect positively on what has been said and see how far he can meet it.
