Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hughes of Stretford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 June 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords].


Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords]

The local authority's functions in relation to adoption are excluded from the functions that social work practices will have; that is the reference contained in the clause, and it is very specific. To return to the first point that the hon. Gentleman raised with me about going to universities, I can tell him that for young people who are in, or who want to return to, education or training, clauses 22 and 23 extend the existing duty to appoint a personal adviser for young people up to the age of 25.
