Anonymity For Defendants In Rape Cases
EDM number 105 in 2010-12, proposed by Fiona Mactaggart on 26/05/2010.
Categorised under the topic of Sexual offences.
That this House believes that the Government's proposal to grant anonymity to defendants in rape cases sends a message to juries and rape victims that the victim is not to be believed; fears that this could inhibit the effective prosecution of serial rapists; is further concerned that this will reverse the progress made on the prosecution of rape cases noted in the independent Stern Review; is further concerned that the Government has put forward the proposal without any research, evidence or examination of these issues; and calls on the Government to withdraw its proposal.
This motion has been signed by a total of 107 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
