I have a high regard for my hon. Friend's expertise on the issue, which greatly exceeds mine as a result of her practice.

Our argument is not that we will leave such people with no support at all, but that legal advice and litigation are not the best way of proceeding to resolve important social and family problems of the kind that she describes.
