NSPCC YOUNG WITNESS SUPPORT CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 739, tabled 25 January 2007 by Bob Spink (Conservative). Signed by 108 members.

That this House warmly welcomes the NSPCC young witness support campaign asking for all child witnesses to get support to help them through the criminal justice process; recognises that the NSPCC and partner agencies provide these services in some areas but that it is a postcode lottery as to which children receive what level of support; and calls on the Government to ensure that all young witnesses receive adequate support to enable them to give their best evidence and ultimately to help achieve justice.

Signatures by party: Labour 61, Liberal Democrat 28, Conservative 11, DUP 2, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2.
