- Just because you have a good relationship with your parents, don't assume that everybody has. Some people are estranged from their parents. As an example, I once had an employee who was thrown out and disowned by his parents because he was gay.

- Some of these young people won't have any parents as they will have been brought up in care. Partly as a result of the possibility of this policy going ahead, it is being considered that it may be necessary to let such children stay in care until they are 21. How much extra will this cost the taxpayer?

- Some of these young people will have been the victims of child abuse, be this of a sexual, physical or emotional nature. As a young man, would you want to continue to live with an adult who had, for example, sexually abused you as a child?
