I move:

That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act for the purposes of making further and better provision for the care and protection of adults who are at risk; to establish the national adult safeguarding authority; to require certain persons to make reports to the national adult safeguarding authority in respect of adults at risk of abuse or harm in certain circumstances; and to provide for related matters.
