"At the same time, we want to see a less patriarchal justice system." The group wrote: "Our message as members of the women’s Parliamentary Labour Party is that these changes cannot come soon enough." "This letter shows the strength of feeling among Labour’s women MPs from across the party who support our courts bill - legislation that will put victims first.”
