I am known as the more right wing of the two of us.

The Minister will recognise that there is a low conviction rate for sex offenders. I fully accept that the system is not perfect, but it is probably the best of many bad systems that we could put in place. If we did not have it for offences such as sex offences and because of the low conviction rate, many people would get away with crimes that they otherwise would not.
