Stalking Protection Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alex Chalk (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on bills on Stalking Protection Bill.

My hon. Friend is making a very important point, not least for this reason. A substantive and full prosecution could allow the court to consider the entirety of the conduct in its full context, to ensure that the

punishment was truly fitting and appropriate. If the prosecution related purely to a breach of a stalking protection order, the courts might not have the powers that they required, because the offending itself would not be fully set out. Does my hon. Friend agree?
