Proceeding contribution from David Winnick (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 9 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Coroners and Justice Bill.


Coroners and Justice Bill

At a time when we are very concerned about so-called "honour killings", which in no way involve honour, is it not very important that this House should send out a perfectly clear message, as my hon. Friend has said, that sexual infidelity can never be an excuse—no matter what the links in a marriage or partnership, as described by the hon. Member for St. Albans (Anne Main)—for what is, after all, murder?
