  1. (a) a parent of his;
  2. (b) a person who is not a parent of his but who has parental responsibility for him; or

The Lord Chancellor

My Lords, I beg to move that the House do agree with the Commons in their Amendment No. 190. I shall speak also to Amendments Nos. 192, 193 and 258. Amendments Nos. 190, 192, 193 and 258 are all concerned with defining what we mean by "children's home" for the purpose of Part VIII. Amendments Nos. 190 and 193 are intended to clarify that certain domestic arrangements are not be classed as children's homes within the meaning of Clause 52. Two new subsections are inserted which mirror provisions in the Part on private fostering (paragraph 2 of Schedule 7).

Moved, That the House do agree with the Commons in the said amendment. —(The Lord Chancellor.)

On Question, Motion agreed to.
