Courts and Tribunals BillContribution
Two years ago, in my Westminster Hall debate on presumption, I implored the Courts Minister to let us not just imagine a world where the voices of children were put at the heart of our family court system, but legislate for it, so that children like Jack and Paul are listened to, and not ignored; and to legislate for a world where childhood is free from fear and oppression, and where children live the lives that they deserve to live. That Minister listened. Today, we have the opportunity to vote for a clause and Bill that do that, so we no longer need to imagine that world, but can make it a reality.
