Proceeding contribution from Baroness Burt of Solihull (Liberal Democrat) 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]

I should be interested to know why the hon. Gentleman thinks that we need to restrict the definition of those who may apply for the order. The person concerned might have a social worker, or might know of someone in the community, who would be prepared to stand up for him or her and who might not be a particularly close associate.
