I move amendment No. 41:
In page 18, to delete lines 30 to 46, and substitute the following:
"37.—Section 11 of the Guardianship of Infants Act, 1964, is hereby amended by the addition of the following subsections:
‘(5) The court may, of its own motion or on an application under this section, by an order under this section give such directions as it thinks proper to procure a report from such person as it may nominate on any question affecting the welfare of the infant.
(6) In deciding whether or not to request a report under subsection (5) of this section the court shall have regard to the wishes of the parties before the court where ascertainable but shall not be bound by the said wishes.
(7) A copy of any report prepared under subsection (5) shall be made available to the barrister or solicitor, if any, representing each party in the proceedings or, if any party is not so represented, to that party and may be received in evidence in the proceedings.'.".
