General Scheme of Children and Family Relationships Bill 2014: Discussion
12:55 pm
Ms June Tinsley:
8 o’clock
From our perspective, we are delighted that the best interests of the child are so strong in the Bill. Different types of family are recognised. It is not as if the legislation will suddenly lead to children being born in different types of family. We have a duty to ensure that children are recognised and given legal clarity. Single parents are doing a brilliant job. Again, we welcome that different types of family will be recognised.
