Speaking in the House of Commons on 29 November 2024

Debate

Men’s Violence against Women and Girls

Contribution

I thank my hon. Friend for securing this debate. This is so important for how we behave both as a society and in this House. I have tabled an early-day motion calling for Disclosure and Barring Service checks for all Members of both Houses, as I think this would lead to greater transparency and openness. It would hopefully make us all feel safer in the corridors of power but, more importantly, it would give the institutions we visit, such as care homes and schools, much greater confidence in who they are letting through their doors. Would my hon. Friend support such a proposal?
