Proceeding contribution from Wera Hobhouse (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 February 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill.


Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill

The amendment to the hate legislation does not create a new offence, and the Minister will be aware of that. I had a long discussion with the Law Commission last week, and it admits that not all women’s rights organisations agree with its view. Many organisations, such as the Fawcett Society and the Young Women’s Trust, support this amendment.
