Proceeding contribution from Vera Baird (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 November 2007. It occurred during Debate on Convicting Rapists/Protecting Victims.
Convicting Rapists/Protecting Victims
I congratulate my hon. Friend on the interest that he has taken in such issues, which are extremely difficult. Measures have been put in place to try to support children so that they can come forward and give appropriate evidence, but it is not always practical or appropriate for cases to be continued in every circumstance. If I can assist my hon. Friend with any particular element of the case that is troubling him, I would be pleased to meet him about it.
