I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to remove the obligation imposed on the grandparents of a child to first apply and obtain leave before exercising the right to apply for access to a grandchild, to regularise the day-to-day care of children in order to facilitate the development of a relationship or a bond between a grandparent and their grandchildren and persons in locus parentis where appropriate, to amend the Guardian of Infants Act 1964 and to provide for related matters.

Since this is a Private Members' Bill, Second Stage must, under Standing Orders, be taken in Private Members' time.
