Proceeding contribution from Lord Carlile of Berriew (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 November 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Community Legal Service (Funding) (Counsel in Family Proceedings) (Amendment) Order 2009.


Community Legal Service (Funding) (Counsel in Family Proceedings) (Amendment) Order 2009

Perhaps I may ask the Minister a fundamental question about that report, of which I am well aware. Where does he find in it a measurement of the activity in other countries that takes place out of courts through, for example, their social services systems? The report seems not to make any comparison of like with like, just as, by way of analogy, reports with foreign comparisons of terrorism custody periods do not compare like with like. It is a totally misleading picture.
