11:30 am
Paul Rowen (Shadow Minister, Work & Pensions; Rochdale, Liberal Democrat)
I beg to move amendment No. 38, in clause 7, page 3, line 14, at end insert—
‘(1A) Before any arrangements are made pursuant to subsection (1) above, the Commission must ensure that consideration has been given to how the specific arrangements sought will contribute to the Commission’s main objective of maximising the number of children living apart from one or both of their parents for whom effective maintenance arrangements are in place.’.
