Cross
party caucus on children's issues a good idea
Labour
supports the call from Every Child Counts to establish a
cross-party
caucus to discuss issues affecting children,
says Minister of Social
Development, Ruth Dyson.
"The
proposal to set up a co-operative group to work together to
advance
the interests of children is appropriate to
discuss today, Children’s Day.
New Zealand would be
following in the steps of other countries such as
the
United Kingdom where parties work together on
policies advancing the
interests of
children."
"Political co-operation over children’s
issues will help ensure consistent
and sustainable
policies are made and our children will benefit long
term
as a result," said Ruth Dyson.
Every Child Counts
has proposed bringing MPs together for cross-party
work
shortly after the 2008 general
election.
