Adjournment Debate: LIAISON COMMITTEE
Motion made, and Question put forthwith, pursuant to Standing Order No. 145(3) (Liaison Committee),
That this House agrees with the Report [16th May] of the Liaison Committee.—[Mr. Jim Murphy.]
Motion made, and Question proposed, That this House do now adjourn.—[Mr. Jim Murphy.]
I am grateful for the opportunity to raise in the House the case of Catherine Meyer, whose two sons were abducted by her former husband eight years ago, in 1994. This is a tragic case. It is impossible to imagine the pain and suffering that this mother has had to go through over the last few years. It has been described as torture. As the parent of two young children, one the same age as Lady Meyer's children when she last had custody of them, I can only dare to imagine how awful must be her grief. I know that the Minister also has young children, so he will know what I mean when I say this.
