Children and Adoption Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
Tim Loughton (Shadow Minister (Children), Health; East Worthing and Shoreham, Conservative)
I beg to move amendment No. 46, in clause 1, page 1, line 15, leave out
‘promotes contact with the child concerned’
and insert
‘directly promotes reasonable contact with the child concerned by negating or managing a specific shortcoming on the part of the person directed to attend the activity in the circumstances where this shortcoming—
(a)has been identified by the court in a finding of fact after due legal process, or
(b)is stated by the court to constitute a specific and significant impediment to a higher level of contact that might otherwise be ordered by the court.’.
