Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment her Department has made of the adequacy of funding for domestic violence services in the next financial year.
Answered by Jess Phillips - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Home Office)
This Government is committed to supporting victims and survivors of domestic abuse.
We understand the importance of specialist support services and their critical role in providing tailored support for victims and survivors of domestic abuse to help them recover and move forward with their lives.
Following the Spending Review announcements in October, the Home Office is now deciding how the total funding settlement is allocated across the department to deliver the Government’s priorities. We will provide more information in due course.
