Chris Seeks Assurance All Violence Is Treated Without Gender Discrimination
Christopher Chope Conservative, Christchurch
Can the Solicitor General confirm that it is imperative that prosecution rates for all cases of violence are increased, and that she is not suggesting to the prosecuting authorities that they should discriminate on the grounds of gender?
Lucy Rigby The Solicitor-General
I can confirm that this Government and the CPS take seriously prosecuting all crimes, including the most serious ones. Equality before the law is a fundamental principle that underpins the rule of law and is foundational to this country.
