Business of the House

Business question from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
As someone who spent nearly the first 40 years of my life in Luton and knows the Muslim community well, I think that I can say with some authority that the actions of those who took part in the protests the other day are not representative of the wider Muslim community there. I ask my right hon. and learned Friend to bear that in mind when she considers whether it is worth stoking up matters by holding a debate. Next Wednesday marks the 10th anniversary of our pledge to abolish child poverty. May we have a topical debate on the subject?
