Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hanham (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 4 March 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL].

Borders, Citizenship and Immigration Bill [HL]

I am lost in admiration all the time for the work of local authorities—I am a member of one, so I declare an interest as such—but I am not at all sure why the children’s panel must now pass one of the most important aspects with which it deals to a local authority. Perhaps we could have a note some time on the exact reasons behind this and what the children’s panel will be left to do if it is not doing this. The Minister said that there would be extra money, but it seems to me that the local authorities will spend the money that the children’s panel would have been spending on finding out what age a child was. We need a little more clarity on this, if we may have it.
