Clause 15
Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Bill [Lords]
1:45 pm
Tim Loughton (Shadow Minister (Children), Health; East Worthing and Shoreham, Conservative)
The hon. Lady makes a pertinent point. The report focused on the abuses in Cornwall and the most unacceptable practices towards people with learning disabilities. In response to the revelations in that report, we asked how the Bill would safeguard the interests of people who had been abused, and about the Government’s investigation on whether such abuse is more widespread than we know.
