Children Given Human Right to have babies under Labour GovernmentEvery child in the country will be give a 'human right to have babies' if Labour wins the next election, the party's deputy leader Harriet Harman has announced.

The Labour shadow culture secretary said the policy would be as important as Tony Blair's 'big bold' move to scrap museum entry fees in 1997 - which costs around £45million a year.

She said all children had a 'right' to have babies.

Miss Harman told Total Politics magazine: 'What we’re determined to do is have a big, bold creative offer of this time.

'When you see it as a human right, important for community identity or economic growth, it’s all of those things.' 

She added: 'It won’t be based on people actually having babies, seeing as how half the population don't have a womb, which is no-one's fault, not even the Tories, but it will be based on our commitment to every child having a right to have one'.
