Education and Adoption Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 16 September 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Education and Adoption Bill.

I am glad my hon. Friend has raised that point, and I saw the Minister nodding earlier. I have had cases drawn to my attention of kinship carers taking advantage of respite care using foster care, only to say, because of financial hardship, that they are not taking the children back into their family. Does this not highlight how important it is that the Minister address these issues of funding and support, and that adoption is not the only form of permanence addressed in the Bill?
