Proceeding contribution from John Battle (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Family Justice.
Family Justice
I welcome the statement, particularly the reference to the family courts in Leeds. A recent survey of children under 14 revealed, perhaps surprisingly, that their highest wish was an absolute ban on divorce. In view of that, may I ask my right hon. Friend to underline the fact that the purpose of family courts is to disentangle broken relationships, enable people to rebuild their lives positively and ensure the future flourishing of the children—not to expose individuals to damaging media destruction in the future?
