I move amendment No. 52:



In page 43, to delete lines 14 to 18 and substitute the following:"6B. (1) A man who is, under section 5(1)(b) of the Act of 2015, the parent of the child, shall be a guardian of the child.".
The rationale for this amendment is similar to that underlying amendment No. 51. We are arguing that the Bill should grant automatic guardianship for fathers at birth.
