I rise to argue that the clause should not stand part of the Bill. It requires adoption agencies to disclose prescribed information to adopters

''As soon as practicable after the making of an adoption order''.

We had a significant discussion about the fact that the clause will be replaced by new clause 6, which makes it clear that the general regulation-making power under clause 9 may be used to set out the key stages at which adoption agencies are to provide information to prospective adopters and the information that they are to be obliged to provide. Given that we have done that, as outlined in the previous debate, the clause should not stand part of the Bill.
