I thank the hon. Gentleman for his intervention, because it takes me on to amendment 88, which was tabled by the Liberal Democrats. In it, we try to tackle that issue in a slightly different way. It proposes:""Provision must be made for appeals by those persons who consider it to be unreasonable or improper to supply the specified information to the Local Safeguarding Children Board under this section.""
That seems to cover the point that was just raised. My request is for the Government to take this back and have another long look at it. The Bill is drafted too widely at the moment, and it is going to need quite a lot of work—and, I suggest, consultation—to get this right. We offer one solution through an appeals process.
Briefly, amendment 90 is designed to strengthen the inspectorate process by changing the "may" to "shall". I want to move on to new clause 10, which hon. Members will not be surprised to hear that I want to discuss.
