Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbourne (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 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 most grateful to the Minister. I have the utmost confidence in the ability of him and his department to produce the right solution. I did not consider making any change to the Scottish Act because, in however many years there have been since 1995, there has been quite a lot of time for the Scottish Act to go wrong. If it has not gone wrong, that is a pretty good argument for sticking with it. I am happy to see what happens at the next stages of the Bill. I am most grateful to all those who have contributed. If I had the proportional support from the whole House that I have had from this Committee, we could give the Government a hiding, but we shall see. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clauses 34 to 38 agreed to. Clause 39 [Commencement]:
