Proceeding contribution from John Greenway (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 January 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Violence Against Women.

Violence Against Women

That may be true. It is not the conclusion that I drew from the IPCC report. What I drew from that was the sense that there had been a clear dereliction of duty on the part of the officers involved. There were inquiries that they could and should have followed up. However, I share the hon. Lady's disgust at what happened to the 40 or so women who were subsequently assaulted and raped by Worboys. It was not one of the best days in the Metropolitan police's history, and I share some of the shame.
