Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hayman of Ullock (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 22 November 2022. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Public Order Bill.

Public Order Bill

This is so important. I do not think the Minister or the Government appreciate how vulnerable women can feel walking, particularly in the dark or on their own, and it gets dark very early in the winter. This is really serious. I also do not think they realise how much young women, particularly if they are attractive, can get hassled. If you have been hassled a lot, you can snap because you are sick and tired of it. I really do not think this has been thought through.
