NSPCC CAMPAIGN, A CRY FOR CHILDREN

That this House welcomes the launch of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children's latest advertising campaign against the devastating effects of domestic violence against children; notes that those involved in domestic violence rarely realise the emotional impact on children; and congratulates the NSPCC for its hard-hitting advert, based on widespread evidence that the unborn child is sensitive to pain and sound, highlighting the plight of the unborn child distressed and disturbed by domestic violence.

(Relevant registered interest declared)
1062A2
