The landmark Domestic Abuse Bill was announced alongside the Queen’s Speech on 19 December 2019.

Subject to parliamentary approval, we are fully committed to enacting this landmark legislation at the earliest opportunity and implementing it quickly. I am in regular discussion with my ministerial colleagues to this end.
