PMQs: Starmer and Johnson on rape prosecution figures

Sir Keir Starmer, a former Director of Public Prosecutions, asked what the prime minister would do about this.

Boris Johnson said he had previously called the figures a “disgrace”, and the government was going what it could to “toughen the penalties” for men who commit these crimes.
