| 0:00.0 | Thank you Tom 25 to 8 now. The government's being pushed to go further on perpetrators |
| 0:14.0 | of domestic abuse and stalking campaigners and the House of Lords want a comprehensive |
| 0:18.2 | system registering and monitoring them. Ministers say the package they're proposing will result |
| 0:22.8 | in a strong framework. This was the Home Office Minister Victoria Atkins last night. |
| 0:27.5 | If I thought that these amendments would of themselves make women safer, I would be offering |
| 0:32.2 | them my full support. But it remains our view that they will not deliver the outcome |

| 1:44.9 | took the ante again to the point where I needed to call the police. When I was calling |
| 1:49.2 | the police, I was saying, well, he hasn't really done anything yet. So I was felt like |
| 1:54.9 | I was just a sitting dog. I mean, I was working from home, having to park my car streets |
