Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I accept that, but my noble friend deserves credit for finding it and putting it to us in this way. I ask the Minister why this was not part of our law in the past; we also had that opportunity. What were the reasons for not accepting this wording? I assume and hope that he will look favourably on the amendment, even if only to take it away and come back with his own. It would take something for the Minister to want to reject such a well phrased amendment, and I very much hope that he is not going to.
