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

The detached observer would take seriously the views of the NSPCC and the deputy children's commissioner that the right thing to do, in order to keep children safe, is not to publish these reports. They would reject the idea that that advice should be ignored by those on the Opposition Front Bench in order to play politics—especially the shadow Secretary of State, who did not even bother to make the main speech in this debate. I shall move on.
