I do not think the social services came out of the case shining. I reject the notion that it was simply an attitude of property; that possibly demeans in some way the motivations of the natural parents. However, that discussion is for another day. We are approaching the issue in a constructive spirit. It is a good proposal and is the fruit of much hard work. It appears to be balanced in terms of achieving an imbuing spirit for the benefit of children. The Minister is absolutely right. I look forward to the debate tomorrow on the amendments.
