HC Deb 26 June 1984 vol 62 c412W
Mr. John Fraser

asked the Secretary of State for Social Services if he will propose legislation to implement the recommendations of the Social Services Committee that the process of transfer of parental rights should be the subject of judical rather than an administrative decision.

Mr. John Patten

The Government are still giving careful consideration to the recommendations contained in the report of the Social Services Committee. We hope to provide a response before the end of the Session.
