Proceeding contribution from Baroness Walmsley (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Children, Schools and Families Bill.

Children, Schools and Families Bill

My Lords, the Minister has stuck valiantly to her brief, but when the House hears such serious warnings from eminent lawyers such as the noble and learned Baroness, Lady Butler-Sloss, a former President of the Family Division, and the noble Lord, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, a former Lord Chancellor, it would be well advised to heed those warnings. A little earlier this evening, noble Lords saw fit to delete Clauses 11 to 14 because they felt that the matter was too controversial for the wash-up. I beg your Lordships to be consistent in that and to vote to remove these clauses from the Bill. They are not safe. Division on Clause 32 Contents 96; Not-Contents 70. Clause 32 agreed. Clauses 33 to 40 agreed. Schedule 2 agreed. Clauses 41 and 42 agreed. Schedule 3 agreed. Clauses 43 and 44 agreed. Clause 45 : Interpretation of Act Amendment 41 Clause 45 : Interpretation of Act Amendment 41 Moved by
