With this it will be convenient to discuss amendment No. 39, in clause 8, page 3, line 26, at end insert—
‘(1A) Before any authorisation is given pursuant to subsection (1) above, the Commission must ensure that consideration has been given to how the specific authorisation 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.’.
