Proceeding contribution from Greg Knight (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]
The hon. Lady’s comment about criminal proceedings left me a little puzzled. She asked how a wronged person could take out criminal proceedings. Surely if this was to be a criminal offence, a complaint would be made and it would then be a matter for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service. In other words, the decision to prosecute would be at arm’s length from the person complaining.
