Clause 6 - Provision as to family assistance orders
Children and Adoption Bill [Lords]
10:30 am
Jeremy Wright (Rugby and Kenilworth, Conservative)
I understand the Minister’s point, but she will accept that it is clear from the clause that removing the
“requirement that circumstances of case be exceptional”
gives the courts a clear steer that the Government want them to make family assistance orders in more cases. Is not the logical conclusion that more will be made and that the courts will find that they are a useful tool to ensure that contact takes place as it should?
