Proceeding contribution from Jack Straw (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Family Justice.


Family Justice

Of course I should be happy to see the hon. Gentleman, but he should bear in mind that social workers and the courts as a whole are between a rock and a hard place. The burden of the criticism in the baby P case is not that the child was taken into care too soon, but that the child was not taken into care at all. There is a really difficult set of judgments that everyone has to make.
