Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

My name is on Amendment No. 79 and I should like to say a few words in support of my noble friend Lady Massey and the noble Lord, Lord Ramsbotham, who, as usual, has said everything. It is impossible to match his expertise or, indeed, my noble friend Lord Judd’s passion. The noble Baroness, Lady Howe, is mistaken when she says that it is the second time. I can remember at least 10 times in the past 10 years that we have talked about these issues and have said how important it is to deal with this group of children. It is not cost effective not to get this right.
