Speaking in the House of Lords on 5 December 2024

Debate

Tackling Stalking

Contribution

I take this opportunity to pay tribute to my right honourable friend the Member for Islington South and Finsbury (Emily Thornberry) who, unfortunately, is busy chairing the Foreign Affairs Committee. She heard about Nicola’s story when we were in opposition, and she worked with her to develop a new policy that is coming to fruition today. Inspired by Nicola, and with thanks to my right honourable friend, the Government will introduce statutory ‘right to know’ guidance that will set out the process by which the police should release identifying information about anonymous stalking perpetrators to victims.
