Clause 1 - Contact activity directions and conditions
Children and Adoption Bill [Lords]
4:00 pm
David Kidney (PPS (Mr Elliot Morley, Minister of State), Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs; Stafford, Labour)
In quoting the amendment the hon. Gentleman omits the phrase
“managing a specific shortcoming on the part of the person directed to attend the activity”.
Would not that undesirably narrow the clause, which is commendably open? What if the need for a contact activity results, not from a specific shortcoming, but from a long break and the need for a gentle restart to contact?
