Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with whom she plans to consult on new measures to tackle domestic violence and abuse; and when that consultation will commence.
We will be publishing a public consultation later this year to inform the development of our domestic abuse programme. We recognise how important it is to get this right which is why we have already been in close contact with key partners and experts to shape our thinking. We will welcome responses from anyone who wishes to contribute, and we will be engaging with a range of partners including professionals, victims, experts and wider communities.
