Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps she is taking to ensure adequate funding for support for victims of sexual violence after 31 March 2025.

My department provides funding for vital rape and sexual abuse support, to help victims cope and recover from the impacts of crime, through a mix of locally and nationally commissioned services.

Funding beyond March 2025 will be agreed with HM Treasury through the Spending Review, which we cannot pre-empt. We will work closely with HMT officials through this process.
