Question
To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to support people affected by matricide.
This question was answered on 5th November 2025
Matricide is a terrible crime, which we are committed to tackling.
Our VAWG strategy will set out how we will halve violence against women – including domestic abuse – over the next decade.
A Government funded project is capturing information on domestic abuse related deaths from all police forces in England and Wales. This will improve our understanding of these awful deaths and help identify how the response can be improved in these tragic situations.
