The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 4 March 2025 to Question 33251 on Domestic Abuse: Parents, when she plans to publish the Government response to the consultation on the definition of child-to-parent abuse.

Answered by Jess Phillips

Tackling violence against women and girls (VAWG) is a top priority for this Government.

A consultation into the definition of child to parent abuse was launched by the previous government but never responded to. This Government is looking afresh at theresponses and will provide an update in due course.
