Mims Davies

Conservative — East Grinstead and Uckfield

Speaking in the House of Commons on 5 November 2025

Debate

Violence against Women and Girls

Contribution

This Government talk about better protection for women and girls while actively passing changes to our sentencing laws that disgracefully mean that more than 90% of grooming offenders and 60% of rapists sent to prison will get their prison time cut. Was there an assessment of the impact of those changes on women and girls specifically? Can the Minister point to a single organisation representing women and girls that supports cutting prison time for sexual assault or grooming to one third of the sentence?
