Schedule 2
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]
4:30 pm
Maria Miller (Shadow Minister (Education), Education; Basingstoke, Conservative)
I think that is a bit disappointing. Lord Adonis was quite clear on the matter in his response in the other place. If we receive assurances at one stage of the Bill that are not carried through as promised by a Minister, it creates a certain level of uncertainty. I understand the complexity of the matter and the need to get the wording right, but if we are to move forward constructively we need to ensure that the indications given are followed through.
