Question to the Ministry of Justice:

To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps her Department is taking to help support victims of domestic abuse.

This Government has committed to halving violence against women and girls in a decade.

We have launched new Domestic Abuse Protection Orders in selected areas, combining the strongest elements of other orders to protect victims from all forms of domestic abuse.

From February, offenders sentenced for 12 months plus for coercive and controlling behaviour are now automatically eligible for management under Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangements.
