Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 November 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Safeguarding Children.


Safeguarding Children

How we properly follow up serious case reviews is important and urgent, and I have asked Lord Laming to investigate it. More generally, where concerns are expressed it is important that we as Members of Parliament know that they are being taken seriously case by case. I will ensure that as part of his work Lord Laming considers issues of data protection across the whole of the UK. If it is a barrier to proper progress on safety, we should look into it.
