Harriet Harman MP - the former deputy leader of the Labour Party - has praised Alex for being a 'very good Lord Chancellor' after they worked together to change the law so that people convicted of sexual offences against children could lose parental rights over their children.
Under current rules, offenders may still have a right to be included when making important decisions about their children's education, health and travel. The new measures, if passed by Parliament, will mean that paedophiles guilty of rape of a child under 13 will be automatically deprived of their parental rights.
