Bill Presented: Clause 45 — Meaning of "qualifying trigger" (9 Nov 2009)

David Winnick: Even if the hon. and learned Gentleman does not accept the Government's view, there are pretty good arguments on both sides, but given the violence that is perpetrated against women and given that far more women than men are murdered as a result of affairs and sexual infidelity, would it not be right—I speak as a layman, not a lawyer—for the House to convey the message that sexual...
