Children and Young Persons Bill [Lords]

I thank the hon. Gentleman. Using the word ““probing”” does not undermine the importance of the proposal, but I wrote the original amendment myself and did not want to lose my argument because it was technically deficient—it is frequently pointed out to me that there is a technical deficiency. I do not really care about the technical deficiency; I think the point is important and I should like the Minister in her response to concentrate on the issue exactly as the hon. Gentleman suggests. Finally, I sympathise absolutely with the objectives of amendment No. 13, although I am not quite sure about its implementation. Amendment No. 14 is extremely interesting and I shall make a judgment on amendment No. 18 when the hon. Member for Warrington, South (Helen Southworth) has spoken to it.
