Weekly Written Statements - Westminster.

This article lists all written statements by Ministers in Great Britain's House of Commons and House of Lords concerning education and the wider children agenda published between January 31 and February 4, 2005. The Secretary of State for Education and Skills Ruth Kelly presented the draft of Children (Contact) and Adoption Bill to the parliament. The Bill takes forward the commitment the British government made in the Green Paper "Parental Separation: Children's Needs and Parents' Responsibilities" to provide the courts with more flexible powers to facilitate contact and enforce contact orders. At present, contact orders can be enforced only through contempt of court proceedings leading to fine or imprisonment.
