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 do not believe that there is a case in this respect because there is a statutory basis. However, what the amendment seeks is implicit in the statutory duty because the requirements on local authorities to record the wishes and feelings of the child are issued under Section 7 of the Local Authority Social Services Act 1970 and local authorities must act under that section. Therefore, our view is that there is an implicit statutory duty, which we believe meets the needs of the case.
