Proceeding contribution from Lord Sheikh (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 10 May 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL].
Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL]
I support the amendment. I am pleased that Northern Ireland is going to be included. Having been to Belfast a couple of times, I know that there are ethnic minority families there. I echo what the noble Lord, Lord Lester, said, that perhaps similar legislation can be introduced in Scotland. The Minister has my support.
