HC Deb 17 July 1968 vol 768 c1483
Mr. Millan

I beg to move Amendment 14, page 11, line 11, at end insert: (5) Where under the last foregoing subsection a local authority take over the care of a child from another local authority, that other authority shall where possible inform the parent of the child that the care of the child has been so taken over.

Mr. Deputy Speaker

It would be convenient if we discussed Amendment No. 15 with this.

Mr. Millan

The House will see that what we are doing is transferring Clause 19 to the end of Clause 15. This was suggested in Committee by an hon. Gentleman opposite. He pointed out that the functions of Clause 19 had so reduced in size that they hardly warranted a separate Clause and should be transferred elsewhere.

Amendment agreed to.

Further Amendment made: No. 15, in page 15, line 1, leave out Clause 19. —[Mr. Millan.]
