Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Lewis Atkinson and Alex Davies-Jones

Tuesday 11th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Alex Davies-Jones]

I will happily meet my hon. Friend, but let me reassure him: we are launching within policing our national centre for violence against women and girls and public protection—that includes a £2 million funding settlement to target violence against women and girls better, including online—and in November, we launched our domestic abuse protection orders in selected areas to improve protection for victims of all kinds of domestic abuse, including online. The police are also able to use stalking protection orders to protect victims of online abuse.
