ADOPTION MATTERS NORTHWEST

Early day motion 401, tabled 8 December 2009 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 26 members.

That this House acknowledges the invaluable support and guidance offered by Adoption Matters Northwest to children who may otherwise be denied the benefits of a secure family environment; notes that they are a specialist voluntary adoption agency who recruit and prepare people who are able to adopt or provide permanent care for such children; and recognises the positive difference the organisation makes to children and families throughout the North West and its wider contribution to raising awareness of adoption alongside the British Association for Adoption and Fostering and other organisations who contributed to the success of this year's National Adoption Week.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 2.
