Proceeding contribution from Baroness Verma (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 merely want to ensure that the Bill has been scrutinised in every possible way and that, when it goes to the other House, it stands a very, very good chance of getting through. I assure your Lordships that this is not grumpiness. I really appreciate all the efforts that the Minister has made. It is simply that I really do think that something as serious as this needs real scrutiny.
