ONE CHILD POLICY IN CHINA

Early day motion 1238, tabled 6 April 2010 by Sir David Amess (Conservative). Signed by 10 members.

That this House notes recent reports that 21 foetuses and baby bodies were discarded in the Guangfu River, Jining City, China; further notes that the one child policy in China limits most couples to one child; further notes with concern increasing evidence, including from official sources, that Chinese authorities continue to employ compulsory abortion and sterilisation as an official policy; and calls on the government of China to cease coercive measures, including forced abortion and sterilisation.
