First anniversary of the new laws on stalking coming into force

These new laws are preventing lives from being ruined or even more seriously affected by stalking. Today the House is debating the changes brought in by the law, celebrating the tireless work of support groups, charities like Protection Against Stalking, Napo, and others, and the work of the police / CPS to bring perpetrators to book. There is more to be done but it is good that parliament is recognising that this a very serious offence. Great speeches from all across the house.
