Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much funding has been allocated from the public purse to the provision of support services for (a) victims of domestic abuse and (b) their children as set out in the Domestic Abuse Bill.

We will publish an updated impact assessment alongside the re-introduction of the Domestic Abuse Bill.

As I indicated at Second Reading of the Bill in the last Parliament (Official Report, House of Commons, 2 October 2019, column 1331), we will prioritise the funding for the Bill in the 2020 Spending Review.
