Letter from Parliament
The media is at its best when it is in investigative mode - Would President Nixon ever have been impeached and Watergate uncovered had not the Washington Post published the story? At the moment I'm speaking to a journalist on a national newspaper about what happens to women of arranged marriages when the marriage fails. Foreign born nationals cannot easily get help yet many cannot return home. Research carried out for me recently has shown that up to 17 women in Rochdale could be sleeping rough. For humanitarian reasons alone we should be helping these women. I hope that by publishing their plight (and I do not believe Rochdale is alone in having this problem) we can get help and assistance for these women.
