The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether her Department plans to continue to fund the Support for Migrant Victims Scheme beyond March 2025.

Answered by Seema Malhotra

We keep under constant review the support we provide to migrant victims of domestic abuse, including how we can increase their confidence to report to the police and their ability to access help from specialist agencies.

This government continues to support the Support for Migrant Victims scheme which provides vital support for migrant victims of domestic abuse, including accommodation, subsistence, counselling and legal advice. All decisions on funding for the next financial year will be made in due course as part of the Spending Review process.
