Proceeding contribution from Christopher Chope (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 24 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill.


Preventing and Combating Violence Against Women and Domestic Violence (Ratification of Convention) Bill

Does my hon. Friend understand why, when the last Labour Government were negotiating the convention, they were prepared to allow other countries to have non-criminal sanctions in respect of stalking? Why were they prepared to allow a reservation of that nature, given that only a very limited number of reservations are allowed?
