On 8 March we launched a 12 week public consultation on proposals for a landmark domestic abuse Bill and a supporting package of practical action to transform the response to domestic abuse. The consultation closed on 31 May.


Over 3,200 responses to the consultation were received. The responses to the consultation are being considered. A Government response to the consultation, including consideration of any potential impact on local authorities and other agencies and the draft Bill will be published later this sessin.
