The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of an independent review into the impact of crimes committed by illegal migrants on women and girls.

Answered by Dame Angela Eagle

This Government has made the unprecedented commitment to halve violence against women and girls over the next decade, underpinned by a new VAWG strategy to be published next year.

As part of our approach, we will use every tool available to target perpetrators and address the root causes of the abuse and violence they commit, irrespective of their nationality or immigration status.
