Children and Adoption Bill [HL]

Clause 9(1) states:"““The Secretary of State must keep under review, in relation to each restricted country, whether it should continue to be a restricted country””." On what basis will that review be conducted? Where and from whom will information be sought? Will the other countries, as they are designated in this part of the Bill, be able to trigger a review, or will prospective adopters be able to do so? The process of inter-country adoption and the basis on which decisions are made is somewhat obscure. Will the Minister give us more information so that the review process becomes more transparent?
