Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Jess Phillips and Peter Lamb

Wednesday 19th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Peter Lamb (Crawley) (Lab)]

T2.   What consideration has been given to the introduction of safe leave for employees experiencing domestic abuse?

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Jess Phillips)]

We strongly encourage employers to support their employees who experience domestic abuse. Many already do that through their membership of the employers’ initiative on domestic abuse, which empowers employers to take action. I will be working with the Department for Business and Trade, including through the violence against women and girls strategy, to look at issues specific to victims in the workplace.
