The Conservative MP who blocked a move to crack down on female genital mutilation (FGM) has been warned Liz Truss is “looking for him”. Christopher Chope sparked outrage on Friday when he objected in parliament to an anti-FGM bill. Speaking to Sky News on Sunday morning, chief secretary to the Treasury Liz Truss said shew as “absolutely appalled” at what Chope did. “This is an action that harms the life of girls,” she said. “When I see one of my colleague opposing a measure that could have saved girls lives, could have saved girls from that horrendous experience, I am appalled by that.”
