Proceeding contribution from Lord Martin of Springburn (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 February 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Child Migration.


Child Migration

My Lords, I welcome the apology. I have met Margaret Humphreys and many former child migrants who came to the Palace of Westminster. I know the good work that she has done. I also know that money cannot compensate for the terrible things that happened to the children who were sent to Australia, Canada and the former Rhodesia. Is it Her Majesty's Government’s intention to pay compensation to those former child migrants?
