Bernard Jenkin MP and I are bringing forward an amendment the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill today that aims to put a stop to the harassment and intimidation of women outside family planning clinics.
Our amendment would establish buffer zones around clinics – areas of 150 metres from the clinic entrance where harassment isn’t allowed.
Vulnerable women do not deserve to be targeted on their way to access a service to which they’re legally entitled. I call on the Government to do the right thing and get behind our amendment.
