Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, what discussions he (a) has had and (b) plans to have with the Prime Minister regarding a response to the letter from Baroness Greengross of 20 June 2020 on supporting older victims of abuse.

Baroness Greengross was an inspiration to members across the House and it is testament to her that, as she approached the end of her life, her thoughts were still with others. Her legacy is immense and I know all members will want to protect it. I am sure many members of this House will have written to the relevant Government departments to continue to raise the issues she championed.

In March 2022 we published the cross-Government Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan which commits £230 million of new funding and will seek to transform the whole of society’s response in order to prevent offending, support victims and pursue perpetrators, as well as to strengthen the systems in place needed to deliver these goals. As the Government continues this work, we should continue to remember Baroness Greengross and her wisdom and ideas.
