Proceeding contribution from John Baron (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Family Justice.
Family Justice
I welcome the statement, but may I suggest to the Secretary of State that owing to the current level of secrecy, over-zealous social services departments are often not held to account and children are often taken away from their parents for spurious reasons? I have a constituent whose two boys, aged 14 and 16, were taken into care simply because they would not speak to their mother after an acrimonious break-up and wished to be with their father. Will the Secretary of State meet me to discuss the case, if only so that he can see for himself how bad the system can be when cases such as this operate under a veil of secrecy?
