Childcare Bill

Tim Loughton (Shadow Minister (Children), Health; East Worthing and Shoreham, Conservative)
I follow what the Minister says, but the 1970 Act is quite old. Obviously, there has been a fairly major transformation of social services departments since then. Would it not be sensible to use this legislation to recognise the differentiation that is happening as we speak within social services and the clear definition of children’s services departments and what they are now responsible for?
