PARENTS OF A CHILD IN A RESIDENTIAL ESTABLISHMENT UNDER A SUPERVISION REQUIREMENT MOVING TO ENGLAND OR WALES OR NORTHERN IRELAND (Hansard, 17 July 1968)

§ Mr. Ross
I beg to move Amendment 53, in page 45, line 17, after '44', insert: 'and send notification of that requirement in accordance with section 72(1)(b) of this Act'. Clause 74 (1) deals with the transfer to England, Wales or Northern Ireland of a child subject to a supervision requirement whose parent proposes to reside or is residing in one of those countries. It requires a children's hearing to hold a review of the child's case and empowers it to do any of the things specified at paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of subsection (1). In the event of its deciding as in paragraphs (a), (b) or (d), the consequential events are clear. If the hearing decides under(c)to vary the requirement by making a requirement under Clause 44(1)(a)—that is, one which places the child under supervision but does not require him to live in a residential establishment—the Clause does not make clear that the hearing may then arrange under Clause 72 to transfer the child to the country in which his parent proposes to reside or is residing.
The purpose of the Amendment is to make good that deficiency.

§ Mr. Millan
I beg to move Amendment 54, in page 45, line 44, leave out 'except that' and insert: Provided that— (a).

Mr. Deputy Speaker
With this Amendment we shall take Amendments 55 and 56. They all deal with the same point.

§ Mr. Millan
Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker.
The effect of these Amendments is to make clear that when an order for transfer is made under Clause 74 transferring a child to an approved school in England and Wales or to a training school in Northern Ireland, the council responsible for making contributions in respect of the child shall be that in whose area the parent proposes to reside or is residing.
