Annette Brooke (Shadow Minister (Children, Young People and Families), Children, Schools and Families; Mid Dorset and North Poole, Liberal Democrat)
I hope that I shall still be in Parliament to check up on that progress. We have been told that so much is in hand, in guidance or that it will happen, so I am rather heartened to hear that there will be a specific inspection on that matter, because it is important that there is a clear way forward to ensure investigations on whether local authorities are following through. During the course of the Committee’s proceedings, we appear to be imposing rather a lot of guidance and regulations on them. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the motion.
