Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Tim Loughton and James Morris

Monday 16th January 2012 Commons Chamber

[Tim Loughton]

The hon. Lady makes a very important practical point. One of my roles on the inter-ministerial group is to see what input the Department for Education can have in ensuring that children are aware from an appropriate young age of the problems of domestic violence and are taught respectful relationships as part of sex and relationships education and PSHE. There are things that we can do at home, in schools and with the agencies that are there to help prevent domestic violence, intervene and apprehend people who are responsible for that horrendous crime.

[James Morris (Halesowen and Rowley Regis) (Con)]
