Rabbits prefer to be in groups of two. To keep just one may be unfair on the rabbit and put you on the wrong side of the new animal rights law.
Having a pair when the buck is not neutered was poor planning and not a reason to suggest they should be kept in solitary confinement.
Our minded children also enjoy the rabbits company and like to help care for them. Rabbits do not carry anything the children might catch, but children can infect the rabbit with ring worm.
The best place to find a pair of ready bonded, ready neutered rabbits is a rescue such as this rehoming service <http://www.rabbitrehome.org.uk>
They also provide advice on keeping your rabbits healthy. There are almost as many abandoned rabbits as dogs and they are all looking for a forever home.
