Labour — Southport

Speaking in the House of Commons on 11 March 2025

Debate

Violence against Women and Girls

Contribution

May I associate myself with colleagues’ comments about the tragic events in the Minister’s constituency? Back in 2021, a young woman in my constituency was the victim of an alleged assault. Even now, in 2025, she advises that there has been no trial, and she worries that she could run into the accused around town. What can be done to expedite such cases in which violence is alleged, to better protect our citizens and ensure that our streets are safe from crime?
