The Birmingham Yardley MP told the Commons: “To say that we are doing everything possible in flagging intelligence is just not true.

“Currently if you are found to have raped your wife or raped one of your children or abused your children, in a family court in this country, found by a British court, no police force in the country would be entitled to have that information when they were doing the vetting.”
