Proceeding contribution from Lord Adonis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 March 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Young Persons Bill [HL].


Children and Young Persons Bill [HL]

My Lords, I believe that the paragraphs of the code that I read out make clear the agency’s responsibilities in ensuring that children are kept safe from harm. They could not have been spelt out more clearly. We do not believe that it is desirable to extend the 2004 Act because of the issues of more extensive litigation that will follow.
