Judicial Review and Courts Bill (Tenth sitting)

Janet Daby Excerpts

Thursday 18th November 2021 Public Bill Committees

[James Cartlidge]

I know that my right hon. Friend takes a passionate interest in the subject. I am due to write to him on the position of children in care. I do not think that we have sent that letter quite yet, so I will add to it information about the make-up of our stakeholder group. It is MOJ-chaired and I am sure that it is broad. I cannot tell him who every single person on it is at this moment, but I will try to list for him all the information that I can.

I stand by my point. I think that these measures, just as with other technology, will enhance accessibility for disabled people and many others in society. I would be extremely surprised if, in future, any Government were to wind back this measure, even a Labour Government.

[Janet Daby (Lewisham East) (Lab)]

Will the Minister give way?

[James Cartlidge]

I had finished my speech—for the second time. But it is only fair that I rewind in order to give way.

[Janet Daby]

Will the Minister please share with the Committee the information about children in care that is going to be shared with the right hon. Member for South Holland and The Deepings?

[James Cartlidge]

Of course, and on that basis I think I will conclude.
