LABOUR accused the Tories today of having allowed the continued “effective decriminalisation” of rape.
Shadow solicitor general Ellie Reeves told the Commons that only 2,100 prosecutions and 1,400 convictions resulted from 55,000 police reports of rape last year.
She told MPs: “The government announced its end-to-end rape review over two years ago and we are still waiting for it.”
