Proceeding contribution from Baroness Verma (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 June 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL].
Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [HL]
My Lords, this is a vital addition to the Bill. It will ensure that a clear message is sent out to all those who may be involved in the wider context of forcing an individual into marriage that the victim will have the protection of the law from all those who carry out coercion and violence in order to bring about a forced marriage. We on these Benches welcome this addition to the Bill.
