NORTHERN IRELAND CHILDREN'S COMMISSIONER
EDM number 897 in 2008-09, proposed by David Simpson on 25/02/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Children and families.
That this House welcomes the fact that the Northern Ireland Children's Commissioner lost her recent appeal against the law allowing parents to use smacking as a form of discipline; criticises her waste of public money in pursuit of an ideologically driven legal campaign; and calls on the Commissioner to cease attempting to criminalise loving, caring parents.
This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
