Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Child Protection.
Child Protection
May I take the right hon. Gentleman back to the central issue of local authority performance? I first fell out with my local, Conservative councillors over their failure on child protection. Now an Ofsted report has found that Essex county council child protection is inadequate. It has been served with a formal improvement notice and given 12 months to get its act together. Does he think that Tory Front Benchers would have more credibility tonight if they had come to the House, apologised for that and said what they were doing to clean up their own councils' acts—particularly the one in Essex?
