We now turn to consent, which is a very important principle. Consent is an issue that is complex and contested. For example, there are things in law that you can consent to and things that you cannot. This will upset some Members, but criminal law sets a threshold that means that you can consent to a very minor…

That is a fundamental principle, but there is zero requirement; it does not exist. The Member is chuntering, but does he want to make an intervention?

I thank the Member for the intervention. For absolute clarity for Hansard, for the people watching and for everyone in the Chamber, there is absolutely no requirement in the Bill — none whatsoever — for an intention to cause harm or even recklessness that caused harm. It does not exist — nada, nil, zilch.

I respect the Deputy Speaker's judgement on that. The totality of the fatal flaws, line by line, means that the principles are upended. On the face of it, the Bill looks to protect people, but it actually exposes them to harm.

That is a fair point, well made. One of the gravest dangers in the Bill is in regard to parenting and the hazards for parenting. Clause 5, "Coercive behaviour", refers to "regulating or monitoring" someone's "day-to-day activities", "restricting" their "freedom of action" or making them feel "punished". The…

I absolutely agree with the Member. When we compare this Bill with the draft Bill in Westminster, the differences on the threshold for serious harm become even more notable. That Bill proposes that the conduct has to be abusive and requires serious harm, serious alarm or distress that substantially affects someone's…

That again speaks of a conflation that we have here. There is an important distinction, against which the Member protested earlier in the debate, between domestic violence and abuse and what is proposed in the Bill. It is never OK to put your partner in fear, alarm or distress. In the case of two adults in a…

Let me make it really clear: the Ulster Unionist Party remains of the view that it is wrong to engage in harmful, abusive and coercive practices on the basis of whatever identity, gender identity or sexual orientation people have. That is not the issue with the Bill, however. Frankly, this is not a motion. It could…

I will maybe start from the beginning again. I know that you are all desperate to hear my contribution. I will return to that point briefly. We are not here to decide whether abuse, coercive behaviour, humiliation and degrading treatment are right or wrong: they are clearly wrong. We are here to look at the Bill and…

I begin with what should unite every Member of the House: abuse, degrading behaviour, humiliation and coercion are always wrong. The issue at hand, however, is not whether those things are wrong but whether the Bill is right. Supporting the objective does not require us to support the Bill. We are here to decide not…

On a point of order, Madam Principal Deputy Speaker. it is entirely open to the Prison Service in such a case to appeal a decision, even if the decision cannot be remedied.

I appreciate the update from the Justice Minister, but there still may be lessons to be learned. A judicial review is successful only if the original decision was viewed by the judge to be either irrational or unlawful. Are there lessons for the Prison Service to learn on how its decision was formulated, recorded or…

I thank the Member for giving way. This point is worth reiterating, because the Bill sponsor was slightly confusing. I want us to be absolutely clear that there is no requirement in clause 1 for the counselling, coaching or instruction to be coercive. There is absolutely no requirement for that. That is absent from…

Thank you. The leader of the Opposition has inadvertently stumbled across one of the key flaws of the Bill. To conflate coercive control in a domestic abuse scenario with coercive control in this scenario is a fatal flaw in the Bill. It is quite appropriate that nobody is allowed to give their spouse instructions…
