Business question from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 January 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

May I suggest that the topical debate on 31 January should be about prosecuting rape cases? Successful prosecution for rape is scandalously low, and women are frightened by rape, especially when they see the sort of articles that appear in the newspapers today. May the House debate the matter? I believe that we can introduce proposals to increase the successful prosecution of rape cases.
