The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking with police forces to tackle violence against women and girls.

Answered by Jess Phillips

This Government is determined to treat violence against women and girls as the national emergency it is and we have already taken significant steps to strengthen the police response to these devastating crimes. As part of Raneem’s Law we will put domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms and finally pilot new Domestic Abuse Protection Orders to keep victims safe and ensure perpetrators are properly pursued.
