Lords ChamberI recognise the noble Lord’s comments and will certainly take the matter back to my colleagues in the department and follow it up with a letter.
Does the Minister accept that in sensitive cases of this nature, the interests of the child should always be paramount?
I do not think there is a Member of your Lordships’ House who would disagree with that. It is fair to say that the IICSA inquiry under way at the moment has set up the Truth Project, under which it has so far been possible for 1,500 victims and sufferers to come forward to give their accounts of what has happened to them, and we expect that many more will join them.
