After five years of work, Ms Badneoch told MPs a bill is still being drafted and had not been published yet because 'difficult issues' remain 'around the safeguarding of young children'
faces further delays for “pre-legislative scrutiny”, claiming legislation on the issue is “contentious”.
Appearing before Parliament’s Women and Equalities Committee on Wednesday, Ms Badenoch said legislation would be introduced “in due course”. “In due course, I think is the easiest way to describe it. We have decided that we’re going down the pre-legislative scrutiny route… that was a matter of debate, on whether having that would prolong the process, but looking at how contentious the issue has been in terms of how it’s discussed, and also looking at the strength of feeling across both Houses of Parliament, and on both sides of the argument, we felt that having the process would make the bill a lot more rigorous,” she said.
