Chris Grayling
There is an ongoing programme to rationalise the estate across the MOJ, as there is across Government. We should always look to maximise the utilisation of public sector office space, and we will continue to do so.
Luciana Berger (Liverpool, Wavertree) (Lab/Co-op)
Will the Secretary of State shed more light on reports in the press today that the Government are seeking to change the definition of domestic violence?
Chris Grayling
That matter is being dealt with by the Home Office and the Government Equalities Office. We are continuing to review it. We regard domestic violence as a particularly serious offence. It does untold damage to the lives of women. The Government will continue to work to find ways of reducing the likelihood of people suffering from domestic violence.
