this House notes the comments of a senior social worker that meetings have been held during which solicitors acting for parents have discussed how to undermine the cases of their clients; further notes that there are many odd cases in which solicitors fail to oppose care proceedings or accept that the section 31 threshold has been met notwithstanding the opposition of their clients; recognises that reporting and obtaining the investigation of such behaviour outwith parliamentary proceedings remains a contempt of court for hon. Members; and asks the Solicitors Regulatory Authority to review the implementation of the solicitors' code of conduct and how this relates to conflicts of interest in the Family Court.

Members to comment; believes it was unacceptable for the Minister for Energy to blame this failure on a civil servant when answering a debate in Westminster Hall on 19 November 2008; finds it further unacceptable, as revealed in a written parliamentary Answer on 26 November 2008, Official Report, column 2163, that the new US-led Parent Body Organisation for Sellafield is not subject to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000; believes that these developments are contrary to open and transparent Government; declines to approve the proposed indemnification arrangements; and calls on the Government to re-open the comment period.
