Proceeding contribution from Lord Williamson of Horton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 16 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 am sure the Minister will recall that I am a benevolent Member of the Committee and that I have been remarkably restrained in my interventions. On these amendments we are faced with a policy decision, which is quite simple; namely, should there be assistance in the interests of the child and the continuity of the supervision of his or her interests for looked-after children in custody? The case for that is strong and we should support these amendments.
