CHILDLINE IN NOTTINGHAM

Early day motion 1559, tabled 20 July 2004 by Alan Simpson (Labour). Signed by 23 members.

That this House recognises the strength of Childline's longest standing base in Nottingham and the services it offers; regrets the decision of the national organisation to reduce this to a satellite service in October, making at least 10 staff redundant; is shocked by the presumption that Childline can maintain the quality of its services in Nottingham on little more than skeleton staffing; and calls on Childline nationally to reverse this decision.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
