Proceeding contribution from Lord Elystan-Morgan (Crossbench) 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 in no way impugn the Minister’s sincerity and sensitivity in this matter, but he said that if the amendments are accepted there is a danger that litigation will follow. Is he suggesting that at present the rights in the document from which he quoted cannot be enforced in the courts of our land? If these rights can be enforced, the amendments would make little difference. If they cannot, they are surely needed.
