<title>Prosecution Of Stalkers</title>
<proposer id="10101">David Chidgey</proposer>
<date>1996-03-07</date>
<text>That this House congratulates Thames Valley and Hampshire police forces on their successful prosecution of Anthony Burstow for stalking Tracey Sant and causing her psychological grievous bodily harm; notes with concern the growing number of cases of women subjected to similar offences and the lack of legislation to enable the perpetrators to be effectively prosecuted; further notes that in spite of vigorous campaigning by the Southern Daily Echo and others no action has been taken; and calls on the Government to enact legislation to make stalking a criminal offence, drawing on the experience gained in Australia, Canada and the United States of America.</text>
