Upskirting Legislation

EDM number 613 in 2017-19, proposed by Laura Pidcock on 29/11/2017.
Categorised under the topic of Sexual offences.

That this House notes that there is no specific offence of taking upskirt photos; further notes that existing criminal offences are often not sufficient to bring prosecutions for upskirting; welcomes the fact that the public petition brought by campaigner Gina Martin on the issue has attracted more than 70,000 signatures; and calls on the Government to bring forward legislative proposals to add a specific sexual offence of upskirting to the Sexual Offences Act 2003.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
