Proceeding contribution from Baroness Altmann (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 February 2024. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Victims and Prisoners Bill.

Victims and Prisoners Bill

My Lords, I apologise to the Committee that I was not available to speak at Second Reading. I had not intended to speak and will not delay the Committee long, but I add my plea to my noble friend the Minister that this is finally resolved. The speech from the noble Baroness, Lady Brinton, and the examples given by the noble Baronesses, Lady Featherstone and Lady Campbell, should speak for themselves. As a tribute to Lord Cormack, who campaigned on this issue for so many years, it would be fitting if my noble friend could give us concrete reassurance from the Front Bench that this injustice will, finally, be properly remedied.
