it now looks as though the proposal might extend only to the period between a suspect being arrested and charged.

i'm still with harriet harman on this one, though.

You can watch it on the BBC Democracy site the Q from HH starts at 5m 20s in.

I thought it was great that it was HH's first question.

I am only just at the beginning of understanding/investigating rape - eg the statistics/the legal system/issues around making women victims etc but this quote from one of the other threads here has really made me think:

"if men didn't want to be accused of rape, they shouldn't put themselves in situations where that could happen"

yes, it does seem a curiously pointless idea now, doesn't it?

i didn't see pmqs but i imagine harriet harman was pretty good on this. anyone see it?

Thrilled that they've made this concession, but still hoping they'll bin the whole idea.
