HC Deb 19 December 2002 vol 396 c974W
Mr. Paul Marsden

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what assessment he has made of the report on the UK by the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. [86141]

Mr. Denham

We are currently considering the recommendations of the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child. The Committee's recommendations are extremely wide-ranging, and relate to many aspects of Government policy. Lead Departments across Whitehall, together with the devolved Administrations, are considering how to take the Committee's comments into account in future work, and we will consider the Committee's recommendations carefully in developing our overarching strategy for children and young people.
