Mr. Dawson

To ask the Prime Minister which Government Department is responsible for co-ordinating the Government's report on the Implementation of the UN Convention on Children's Rights to the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child; and for what reason. [35235]

The Prime Minister

The Children and Young People's Unit, reporting to the Minister for Children and Young People at the Home Office, my right hon. Friend the Member for Southampton, Itchen (Mr. Denham) will be responsible for co-ordinating the Government's next report on the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. It is a cross-departmental unit responsible for ensuring the coherence of the Government's policies for children and young people. It is therefore best placed to co-ordinate the Government's report.
