No. 

I have pursued the case of Alun Cairns, and I'm pretty sure there are other senior members of the Welsh Conservatives who knew more than they were letting on, because I believe having men like this who have such scant regard for rape and rape victims in positions of power contributes to the appalling rape statistics that I referred to earlier, and to the reasons why women and men don't report. And I will continue to pursue it, and all of you are invited to sign the open letter that I've written to the Prime Minister on this matter, which can be found on my website and my Facebook page. 

I want to conclude this afternoon with an outline of what we can do about all of this. Yes, we need to challenge and change rape culture—this has to start in school with questions like respect and consent—but we also have to change this political culture, too. A public information campaign making clear where the boundaries are with consent and rape would also be helpful. We have to change so much about the way we as a society deal with rape, and in order to do that we have to have control over the policy levers. The status quo is failing rape survivors as things stand, and we can change that with devolution.

Devolution of the criminal justice system would also enable us to ensure that well-trialled perpetrator programmes were fully available within prisons and probation teams to try to reduce the risk of sexual offences being repeated. I would also like to see changes to the practices within the police, the Crown Prosecution Service and the courts system to address these low conviction rates. We could make sure debrief interviews are statutory when a child returns from a missing incident; this happens elsewhere with good results, helping police to build up patterns and pictures, and helps to improve safeguarding.

The Thomas commission gives us opportunities to improve the overall situation. Thomas concluded that only full legislative devolution combined with executive powers will overcome the failings of the current system. It would give us the opportunity to look at what works in other countries, like the specialist courts in South Africa and the social movements and information campaigns on consent and coercion that we see in Sweden. We can build a new system that works from scratch, free from the patriarchal and misogynistic binds that exist within the current system. Why would we not do that?
