Proceeding contribution from Yvette Cooper (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 March 2012. It occurred during Topical debate and Backbench debate on International Women's Day.
International Women's Day
Will the hon. Lady confirm that there will be two separate offences, and that the first offence will have a maximum sentence of only six months, and that in order for the second offence to carry a sentence of more than six months the police will be required to prove that someone is in fear of violence—which was objected to by the all-party parliamentary group, which said that that approach would not work?
