Prevention Of Forced Marriages

EDM number 1205 in 2007-08, proposed by Ann Cryer on 18/03/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Child care, Equality and Marriage.

That this House wishes to put on record its appreciation of the work of Philip Balmforth in protecting thousands of vulnerable girls in the Bradford district; further wishes to commend West Yorkshire Police and Bradford social services for having the foresight to engage Philip 12 years ago, thus enabling him to give so many young women the right to choose whom and when to marry; and believes that these young women have good reason to thank Mr Balmforth and hope that he will have many more years serving their community in his own unassuming and courteous way.

This motion has been signed by a total of 72 MPs.
