Proceeding contribution from Mary Creagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 October 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Street Children (Congo).
Street Children (Congo)
I am delighted to hear about the Government’s investment, but I am sure the Secretary of State will agree that one of the most distressing parts of the report by my hon. Friend the Member for Dumfries and Galloway (Mr. Brown) and the hon. Member for Gainsborough (Mr. Leigh) was the description of children who had suffered severe physical abuse, including an account of boys who had had their penises cut off. Those children need specialised medical attention. Is there any way that we can provide such help, alongside training and equipment, for Congo?
