CCPR/C/58/Add.6 page 66 296. These proposals on the public and private law relating to children formed the basis for major new legislation which was introduced in Parliament in November 1988. The Children Bill which is currently under discussion in Parliament is intended to reduce the complexity of the law on children, to define the rights and duties of parents and to improve the powers available for protecting children. When implemented, it will represent a major revision and clarification of the law relating to children and family services. Nine Acts of Parliament will be repealed, including the Children Act 197S and the Children and Young Persons (Amendment) Act 1986, referred to below (para. 314). 297. Parental responsibility is identified as a fundamental principle and defined in the bill. The Government's view is that the primary responsibility for the upbringing of children rests with their parents. The State should take the role of being ready to help parents discharge that responsibility, and of intervening compulsorily only where children are placed at unacceptable risk. Local authority care and social services for children should therefore be seen in this context. 298. Part I of the bill sets out the key proposition that the child's welfare is to be the paramount consideration where court decisions are taken concerning a child's upbringing. This legislation will not affect adoption 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing a report and subsequent legislation related to the welfare and upbringing of children, including the role of parents, the state, and local authorities. It does not mention economic development, natural resources, industry, transport, communication, international trade, or humanitarian aid and relief. The text is more focused on social issues, which leads me to believe that it is related to education, employment, or health. However, the specific focus on family services, guardianship, and custody suggests that it may be more closely related to education or employment, rather than health.
