World Summit for Children

HC Deb 01 March 1995 vol 255 cc633-4W

39. Ms Glenda Jackson

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what practical steps the Government will implement to fulfil its commitment in achieving the goals set by the 1990 world summit for children.

Mr. Douglas Hogg

We are responding positively to the summit's goals. The UK was one of the first industrialised countries to publish a national response to the summit. The needs of children in developing countries are also a priority goal of the British aid programme.
