Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Child Protection.
Child Protection
I am happy to quote the figures from the Office for National Statistics, which show that in 2003 the overall number of deaths of children aged 0 to 17 was 4,990. In 2007 it was lower—4,854. The UN figures show that over the period 1995 to 2006 there has been a 30 per cent. fall in child deaths among under-fives. So I have set out the figures clearly.
