Missing People's Missing Rights Campaign
EDM number 1158 in 2010-12, proposed by Zac Goldsmith on 08/12/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Charities.
That this House welcomes the Missing People's Missing Rights Campaign, which seeks to improve the support available for families of missing people; regrets that 330,000 missing person reports were made across the UK last year with over 20,000 disappearances estimated to have lasted longer than one week; is concerned that if a person's house is burgled they are automatically entitled to a range of resources, information and assistance, whereas if a person's child goes missing they may get nothing; and calls on the Government to ensure that families of missing people have access to specialist support that can address the unique legal, financial and emotional challenges a family will face when a loved one disappears and to review the need for legislative change to better protect those affected.
This motion has been signed by a total of 60 MPs.
