§ Dr. OwenI beg to move Amendment No. 74, in page 57, line 42, leave out 'made by statutory instrument'.
§ Dr. OwenAmendments Nos. 74 and 75 are drafting amendments.
Amendment No. 76 is intended to make the meaning clearer, which is to provide that regulations may be made under paragraph (a) to say who shall be prohibited from advertising to seek foster children, or under paragraph (b) to say who shall be allowed to advertise. This will give flexibility to allow advertising which is considered acceptable, such as advertising holidayse for children.
In Amendment No. 77 the intention is to remove any doubt that regulations may distinguish who may and who may not advertise, and, in relation to (1A), to allow advertisements seeking foster parents to be made on behalf of parents by approved bodies. I would add that (1A) prohibits a person from "causing" an advertisement to be published.
