Children and Adoption Bill

Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 2 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Children and Adoption Bill (HL).
Does my hon. Friend agree that working out how children’s voices can be heard in court is an urgent issue? These days, it is easy for child abuse to take place in a criminal context, but it is impossible to bring action because of the tender years of the child, which means that people of tender years are not protected. It is critical that we turn our minds to the whole issue of bringing children’s evidence into court.
