The answer

Answered by Sam Galbraith on 1 Mar 2000 · 14 days after it was lodged, on time

This Executive is committed to supporting families to ensure that children receive the best possible start in life. We recognise the important role which grandparents play in many families but also that modern families are very diverse. We consider that arrangements for contact and support are best achieved through co-operation and agreement between grandparents and parents.
