Clause 5 - The offence
Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [Lords]
3:30 pm
Ms Meg Munn (PPS (Rt Hon Margaret Hodge, Minister of State), Department for Education and Skills; Sheffield, Heeley, Labour/Co-operative)
I apologise for interrupting my hon. Friend in mid-point. Does he agree that in cases involving small children and vulnerable adults who may have communication difficulties the ability to give evidence is a matter of concern? In their cases his argument does not hold sway, and that is why the organisations concerned suggest that we should consider the amendments.
