I have already pleaded guilty to that.

The inclusion of reasonable contact in the welfare checklist puts those concepts together to ensure that there is no conflict. That is the whole point of the amendments. I hope that the hon. Lady will consider them again and accept that there is no conflict, or intention to create a conflict, between the two concepts—quite the reverse. We are trying to enhance the welfare of the child by including the concept in the amendments.

My last point is simply to underline what my hon. Friend said about reasonableness, which is a concept beloved of jobbing lawyers. It is beloved for a good reason, and that is that it cuts in all directions. Reasonable contact does not mean just reasonable contact for the absent parent. It also means contact that is reasonable for the resident parent and the child. All members of the Committee should be heartily in favour of that concept.
