Baroness Merron (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 16 December 2025

Debate

Women’s Health Strategy

Contribution

I am grateful to the noble Lord for his clear and powerful points. I certainly agree about the abhorrence of this practice and its total unacceptability and illegality in our country. I can say to him that this is a cross-government matter. I work closely with Ministers in other departments and will continue to do so to ensure that policies across many departments deal with the matter of FGM in the way that he describes. We cannot allow it to have any continued existence in this country.
