Rape: Prosecutions and Support

Debate between Lord Bellamy and Baroness Verma

Tuesday 29th November 2022 Lords Chamber

[Baroness Verma (Con)]

My Lords, can the Minister assure me that the number of women who are not able to communicate, as English is not their first language, is also collected in the data that my noble friend mentioned? How are we monitoring whether women from communities that cannot communicate fully in English are fully supported by the systems?

[Lord Bellamy (Con)]

I take good note of my noble friend’s question and will do my best to assure her that those pressing needs are dealt with.
