Mary Henry (Independent)

While the Minister is quite right to say that people should keep their papers safe, it is amazing what happens to important bits of paper, which often get lost. I hope the Minister can revisit this issue, in particular as it involves so many children and parents and not a small isolated group.

To return to the matter of the other small isolated group to which I referred earlier, they will not be isolated for much longer as they will be a much bigger group. I would be grateful if the Government would address this important matter because issues may arise where parents split up and a person finds he or she has no rights to a child, or where there is a tragic accident in which the parents are killed and the child is left in a legal limbo. From a general point of view, I hope the Minister can accept one of the amendments regarding a guardianship register.
