Yesterday at Attorney General Questions, I once again asked about the appalling low number of rape and sexual assault cases brought to court. In recent years, rape prosecutions have fallen at a staggering rate, despite a dramatic increase in the number of reported offences.

The Government looks to have U-turned on its own CPS target of returning prosecution rates to 2016 levels by next year, and is working towards a deadline to do so by the end of the next Parliament, meaning many victims who report cases will still not see justice done, and others are likely to be deterred from coming forward,

Labour is pressing for justice for victims and survivors, and will continue to do so whenever the opportunity arises.
