Proceeding contribution from Mike Weatherley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on Rights and Protection of Victims.


Rights and Protection of Victims

I am most grateful to the Secretary of State for that intervention. The point I was trying to make was about the code's inability to be made legally enforceable when no particular agency is held to account for compliance at the moment. I would like to see it strengthened. On behalf of all future victims of crime, I urge the Government to support the EU directive on a minimum standard of treatment for victims of crime across Europe.
