Text
I thank the Member for giving way. Does he agree that the offence that he has just referred to is a problem throughout society, the root cause of which is misogyny? On that basis, would he accept that proper education and consistent relationships and sexuality education (RSE) training for all our young people would probably be more effective in reducing the frequency of those incidents than any proposed criminalisation of the offenders?
