[i]"Sir Christopher has yet to speak out about why he blocked the bill but upskirting victim Gina Martin - who started the campaign for the new law - said he had told her he objected to it "on principle" because it "wasn't debated".

She also told the BBC that he said he "wasn't really sure" what upskirting was.

"I said, 'well, I can help you with that'," Ms Martin added."

Sir Christopher is a leading member of a group of backbench Conservatives who make a practice of ensuring that what they see as well-meaning but flabby legislation is not lazily plopped on to the statute book by a few MPs on a poorly attended Friday sitting.
And after all this is a bill to create a new criminal offence, for which people can go to jail.

So, however worthy the cause, he insists on proper, extensive scrutiny, and he has spent most Commons Fridays for the last 20 years doing just that.[/i]

holocaust21	Good for him. I am pleased he blocked it. An MP did the right thing for once, upskirting like all "sexual offences" should not be a crime.
