Proceeding contribution from Lord Rix (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

I am most grateful to the Minister. I know that to a certain extent we stage-managed the response tonight, but I did not hear it in full across a cup of half-consumed tea at the department last Wednesday. I am most grateful for the assurance that he has given. I wrote down here, ““Need for frequent visits””. The need for the frequency is slightly inconclusive, is it not? It is not definitive language. It does not say that it has to be at least every fortnight or every three weeks or whatever. However, I fully accept the good will with which the support is given from the government Front Bench. Therefore, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. Clauses 21 to 28 agreed to. [Amendments Nos. 49 and 50 not moved.] Clause 29 agreed to. Clause 30 negatived. [Amendment No. 51 had been withdrawn from the Marshalled List.] Clause 31 agreed to.
