HC Deb 02 December 1999 vol 340 c303W
Mr. Corbett

To ask the Secretary of State for Health if he will make it his policy to ensure that legislation affecting the rights of the child is available in a language and format suitable for children. [100906]

Mr. Hutton

Information about children's rights is increasingly available in a language and format suitable for children.

The Department has published summaries of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, some of which are available in minority languages, and leaflets on the Children Act 1989. Major child care voluntary organisations have also produced valuable materials for use in schools and other settings, some of which have been funded by central government.
