HC Deb 11 May 1982 vol 23 cc225-6W
21. Mr. Beith

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services what is the policy of Her Majesty's Government towards the proposals contained in the Child Care Bill and the Child Care (No. 2) Bill [Lords].

Mr. Geoffrey Finsberg

We are concerned that proper attention should be paid to the rights of families with children in care. There are already substantial safeguards and we are not convinced that further legislation is needed.
