Draft Advisory Code of Practice - Sir Greg Knight Bill

Coupon-mad

the Stalking Protection Bill

Nice one - about time Police forces were given more powers to stamp that crap out and bung sociopath perpetrators in prison.

Off topic but relevant!

Agreed ..... but will not the stalkers bill apply to UKPC ?

Coupon-mad

LOL.

But I know who it should apply to, and will, if my stalker tries again.

Here is the summary for Friday, from the BBC website:

Friday 23 November

It is back to private members' bills in the Commons (from 9.30am) where the agenda lists no fewer than 122 bills for consideration (27 of them from Friday frequent flyer, Sir Christopher Chope).

The subjects range from bat habitats to cats, but, realistically, only the first three or four bills have any chance of being debated. Top of the list is the remaining stages (report and third reading) of Dr Sarah Wollaston's Stalking Protection Bill.

This aims to deal with a gap in the law on stalking, which is mostly configured around stalking by ex-partners, by focusing more on the problem of "stranger stalkers".

And it also provides for anti-stalking orders which can be issued "on the balance of probability" to restrain stalking, when it may not be possible to reach the "beyond reasonable doubt" standard of proof required for criminal cases.

They could cover banning people from approaching a person and their friends and family, in the digital as well as physical world, and breaches could result in criminal penalties. This bill commands enthusiastic government support, so it seems set fair to clear the Commons and go to the Lords.

Then MPs will turn to the Parking (Code of Practice) Bill from the Conservative, Sir Greg Knight. This aims to ensure the private parking sector operates in a consistent and transparent manner for the motorist.

Sir Christopher Chope

Not him!

Voting Leave was the only thing I agree with him about...everything else in that synopsis of his voting pattern/opinion is shocking and if he shouts ''object'' he will have the public to answer to, if he blocks this Bill.

Glad to hear it.

Would have covered me then when *someone* who was nothing to do with any family relationship set out to get at me, tracked me down to my place of work and emailed my employer about me, after previously trying to get money from me and harassing me online, etc.

All in the past, now, but I still have the file and so do the Police and Stalking Charity...

Looking forward to how Friday pans out I know this new Bill is taking its time but any progress is progress imo.
