MAKE EVERY DAY MOTHER'S DAY CAMPAIGN

That this House regrets the tragic loss of life in the death of one woman worldwide every minute as a result of pregnancy-related complications and the death of 4,000,000 newborn babies every year; pays tribute to the work being undertaken by the World Health Organisation and Commonwealth Secretariat to highlight this through their Make Every Day Mother's Day campaign; and calls on the UK Government to work with its international partners to achieve Millennium Development Goals 4 and 5 to reduce infant and maternal mortality rates.
