Dorset MP blocks FGM bill that would protect children
From the Huffington Post
Tory MP Christopher Chope has blocked a bill that would have aided the prevention of female genital mutilation (FGM) of children. There was an audible groan from MPs in the Commons on Friday when the 71-year-old MP shouted “object!” to the bill getting a second reading. Parliamentary rules mean it only requires one MP to do this to block a bill’s progress once time for debate has concluded. |
