Speaking in the House of Commons on 13 January 2025

Debate

Tackling Crime: Newcastle-under-Lyme

Contribution

I echo my hon. Friend’s comments about my hon. Friend the Safeguarding Minister. On the point he raises, there is an interesting article in the papers today where the Minister is quoted as saying: “It is completely unacceptable that fewer and fewer violent and sexual crimes are being solved, with more victims being let down time and time again.” I cannot think of a better champion to take forward the work to protect young women in particular than the Safeguarding Minister.
