Liberal Democrat — Wells and Mendip Hills

Speaking in the House of Commons on 1 June 2026

Debate

Child Sexual Offender Data

Contribution

I cannot remember whether I mentioned this—my notes have gone, although I did not follow them anyway. I just want to draw the Minister’s attention to small religious groups, which is the terminology I use to describe what most of us would probably call “cults”. We should make sure that is a focus of some attention in the inquiry, because children of both genders and vulnerable adults are forced into situations over which they have very little control. It is that power dynamic.
