Adoption Bill 2009: Report Stage (Resumed)
3:00 pm
David Norris (Independent)
I accept the Minister of State's assurances. However, if the term "or both" were inserted, it would imply to the average reader that it is an option. For example, if one offered a child an apple or a banana, it is only the naughtiest of children who would say, "Yes, thank you. I will have an apple and a banana." I hope the Minister of State is correct in this.
