Judith Masson, School of Law, and Cathy Humphreys, School of Health and Social Policy, University of Warwick. The Children and Adoption Bill was introduced in the House of Lords on 13 June 2005, shortly after the Governments response to the report from the Joint Committee on the draft Children (Contact) and Adoption Bill was published. Judith Masson and Cathy Humphreys look at the draft Bill and the Governments unwillingness to take on board the scrutiny committees advice.
