Stalking Protection Bill

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

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. There can be no excuses, based on cultural background or anything else, for the mistreatment of women in any way, whether that is stalking, forced marriage or female genital mutilation. All those things, and others, are abhorrent. No woman of any age or of any ethnic background should experience them, and categorically cultural background is no excuse; it does not make it okay.
