Gideon Amos

Liberal Democrat — Taunton and Wellington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 October 2026

Debate

Controlling or Coercive Behaviour: Sentencing

Contribution

I thank those in Taunton and Wellington who signed the petition. In addition to the review of sentencing guidelines for which my hon. Friend has advocated, and which I very much support, does she agree that, in respect of Paris’s law, which I also support, prevention needs to be tackled through greater perpetrator programmes, so that individuals are targeted and coercive and controlling behaviour can be stopped at its root as much as possible?
