I do not want to prolong the debate on this amendment. It is important to show as broad a consensus across the House on this amendment as is possible. The proposer of the amendment eloquently explained the very important rationale for this amendment.

I reiterate the calls from my colleagues for the Minister of State to consider this amendment, not just because of the spirit in which it is offered up but also because of the very positive, practical change that it could bring about for people who have been victims of sexual crime.
