HC Deb 07 December 1998 vol 322 c71W
Mr. Burstow

To ask the Secretary of State for Health what plans he has to review the rights of grandparents to have access to grandchildren below 18 years of age who are in foster care. [62861]

Mr. Hutton

We have no plans to review the rights of grandparents to have access to grandchildren below 18 years of age who are in foster care. Current Children Act 1989 regulations and guidance already provide an adequate framework for contact between grandparents and their grandchildren in foster care.
