Victims and Prisoners Bill

Proceeding contribution from Toby Perkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 December 2023. It occurred during Debate on bills on Victims and Prisoners Bill.

The Government are fond of saying that they are getting on with the people’s priorities, however much opinion polls may suggest the opposite. I agree entirely that all parties believe that the Bill is needed, and all parties want to get it on to the statute book. Does the Minister share my concern that the sheer weight of amendments proposed, and the widespread group of people who are saying that a number of people are being missed by this glorious once-in-a-Parliament opportunity, mean that the Government should be much more ambitious about ensuring that more victims get the support they need?
