Proceeding contribution from Baroness Miller of Chilthorne Domer (Liberal Democrat) 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]

There is a bit of an issue here. If the local authorities are the very ones that are failing in their duties to these children, and the children’s panel would have discovered these failures but the local authorities will now be judge and jury on this, there will not be the same third-party checks, so far as I understood what the Minister said about how the funding will work now.
