Domestic Abuse

Asked by Helen MorganLiberal DemocratWomen and EqualitiesTabled Answered 18 December 2024UIN 901927

The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what recent discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for Justice on the potential merits of bringing forward legislative proposals to create domestic abuse-aggravated offences.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

I regularly meet with the Lord Chancellor to discuss the Government’s mission to halve VAWG and tackle domestic abuse.

I am aware of Private Members Bill tabled by the Honourable Member for Eastbourne.

I will carefully consider both the merits and risks of creating domestic abuse-aggravated offences and respond via the usual parliamentary procedure.
