Clause 7 - Co-operation to improve well-being
Children Bill [Lords]
9:15 am
Mr Hilton Dawson (Lancaster and Wyre, Labour)
In recent years, 28 children have been murdered in the most appalling circumstances during contact visits, many of which were ordered by the courts. Does not the hon. Gentleman fear that the approach that he suggests will encourage courts to make more contact orders in inappropriate cases? If he shares my concern about that, what does he think should be done?
