    Ellie Reeves – 2021 Comments on Rape Victims Giving Evidence on Video

    The comments made by Ellie Reeves, the Shadow Solicitor General, on 17 May 2021.

    It is welcome to see the Government are finally implementing what Labour have long been calling for.

    Under the Tories rape prosecutions are at their lowest level on record.

    Many survivors feel the system is working against them, not for them. That is why Labour called for the fast tracking of rape cases through our courts, CPS and police in our Survivors’ Support Plan and in our Ending Violence Against Women and Girls Green Paper that Labour published today.

    We now need to look at the detail of what the Justice Secretary is doing to ensure that all survivors can benefit from giving their evidence as soon as possible
