Proceeding contribution from Helen Grant (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 4 May 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Family Policy.
Family Policy
I congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Erewash (Jessica Lee) on securing this important debate. The family is a fundamental and vital tool in holding society together. It can provide security, stability and commitment. In the family we learn how to give, how to share, we learn how to be kind and how to care, and we learn how to build relationships. However, the family has been and continues to be badly neglected as an institution, notwithstanding the fact that it is a key element in dealing with issues such as gun crime, knife crime, teenage pregnancy, truancy and antisocial behaviour. The Government need to do everything they can to support and protect the family.
