Proceeding contribution from Parmjit Dhanda (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Child Migration.


Child Migration

I welcome the Prime Minister's statement. The first time I came to know of this was a few years ago when I was a Minister and proposals were worked up by officials to reduce some of the funding for these child migrants. Thankfully, we saw that off. At one stage, I had to tell officials that I would resign rather than allow that to happen, so I welcome the extra funding pledged by the Prime Minister. Does he agree that, as long as any of these child migrants are still alive and with us, we must continue to fund and support them?
