Clause 2 - Principal aim of the Commissioner
Children's Commissioner for Wales Bill
6:00 pm
Mr David Hanson (Parliamentary Under-Secretary, Welsh Office; Delyn, Labour)
Those are important points, but I shall come to them in a moment.
I would like to confirm that the broad vision of the UN convention is important. Many specific rights have been mentioned, such as the right to protection from different forms of violence, the right to receive guidance on dangerous drugs and sexual abuse, and the right to be protected from abduction, or being sold. The Government and the Assembly would not commit themselves to those rights. That is why the ratification has our support.
