I move amendment No. 7:

In page 5, line 30, to delete "Any" and substitute the following:

"Section 37 applies to any child who is the subject of an order under this section and in particular any".

The purpose of the amendment is to make clear that in addition to existing orders to the child continuing, new access applications, for example, by the natural parents, can be made after the making of an order under the legislation. While I am substantially ad idem with the Minister of State on this matter, I seek to ensure it will still be possible for an order to be made subsequent to the making of the order provided for in this section.
