BARROW WOMEN'S REFUGE

EDM number 1131 in 1992-93, proposed by John Hutton on 11/01/1993.

That this House condemns the decision of the Conservative-controlled Barrow Council to close the emergency needs service in the borough which provides vital protection to women and children at risk from violent husbands and partners; and therefore calls on Barrow Council to ensure that a secure refuge continues to be available to local people in need.

This motion has been signed by a total of 110 MPs.
