Protection of Retail Workers

I have long agreed with calls for a change in the law to protect retail workers from abuse and violence. This is why, during the recent consideration of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill in the House of Commons on 5 July, I voted for an Opposition amendment that would have introduced a new offence of assaulting a retail worker. Disappointingly, the Government rejected the amendment.
