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


Child Migration

May I congratulate the Prime Minister on his apology today and congratulate the Child Migrants Trust? Many of these children not only lost their childhood and education, but worked as virtual slaves in Australia. Today's apology will be a small compensation for that terrible loss and experience. However, will my right hon. Friend guarantee that those surviving child migrants will not have to return cap in hand to the Government in a few years?
