Proceeding contribution from Philip Davies (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 July 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [Lords].


Forced Marriage (Civil Protection) Bill [Lords]

Everybody in the House will support measures to tackle forced marriage, which is an appalling thing, and I should like to pay tribute to the hon. Member for Keighley (Mrs. Cryer), who has done an awful lot in the House to highlight the issue. Will the Minister explain which stakeholders she has spoken to, because people are concerned that the Bill will not make forced marriage a criminal offence?
