I move: "That leave be granted to introduce a Bill entitled an Act to extend recognition to adoption orders made in foreign countries, to amend and extend the Adoption Acts, 1952 to 1988, and to make further provision in connection with the matters aforesaid."
In one sentence may I say that, when the Bill has been published and circulated, I invite the Government to look at it closely. I would say to them that this Bill not being brought forward in a party political, contentious way, that we would hope it could be agreed by all sides in the House and enacted early in the New Year.
