Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps he is taking to tackle domestic abuse.
On 21 January we published a landmark draft Domestic Abuse Bill, containing a ground-breaking series of measures to promote awareness, support victims, tackle perpetrators and improve services.
We have also published a package of non-legislative actions that will see further support for children, the elderly, disabled, male and migrant victims and those in the LGBTQ community.
We have already committed over £100million to tackle violence against women and girls, including £20m for victims of domestic abuse and £40 million for safe accommodation services.
