I have here a report from a local newspaper. Kay Atwal, a reporter on the Newham Recorder, describes the lives of women she has met, saying:"““Your mail is opened by your in-laws, you can't call your family or friends and you are not allowed out of the house. Your days are an endless round of cooking, cleaning and clearing up punctuated by threats and criticisms. And hanging over you is the constant fear that you could be deported from Britain if your husband divorces you.””"
Does my hon. Friend agree that women such as those could well be affected by the changes that the Government are making today?
