Draft Children Order

HC Deb 17 March 1994 vol 239 cc839-40W

Rev. Martin Smyth

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when he expects to publish the revised draft Children Order.

Mr. Ancram

I do not wish to prejudice the consideration which my noble Friend will be giving to the comments made during the consultation period and in the recent debate in the Northern Ireland Committee. However we hope to have the order laid before the House rises for the summer recess.
