NATIONAL CARE LEAVERS WEEK

Early day motion 1809, tabled 25 October 2004 by Hilton Dawson (Labour). Signed by 55 members.

That this House welcomes National Care Leavers Week which this year aims to focus upon the housing needs of young people for whom the local authority is their corporate parent; commends the Bryn Melyn Foundation and a National Voice for this initiative; and urges all honourable Members to support the Care Leaver's Housing Charter by asking their local authority to compare their services with the minimum standards proposed by young people and ask councillors and senior officials whether what is on offer in their constituencies would be good enough for their own children.

Signatures by party: Labour 32, Liberal Democrat 14, Labour/Co-operative 4, DUP 2, UUP 2, Conservative 1.
