Closed Automatically remove a Peer of title if found guilty of Child abuse.

Closed on

Parliament should introduce a new law to ensure that any Peer found guilty of Child Abuse should automatically have their title removed. No Peer of the Realm should hold the title or office after being found guilty of such an horrendous crime.

Parliament and the UK establishment needs to recognise the impact of Child Abuse and understand that any Peer of the Realm who has been found guilty and holds a title is insulting to victims and their families. It negatively impacts and damages what the Honours system was designed to do.

How can a person who is found guilty of Child Abuse possibly hold a Peerage in the United Kingdom. The government needs to understand what message this sends out to the public.
