To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, what steps he is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle domestic abuse.

Answered by Alex Davies-Jones

We have introduced a range of measures to tackle domestic abuse, including a £53 million investment in rolling out The Drive Project across England and Wales over the next four years to target serial perpetrators of domestic abuse, embedding domestic abuse specialists in 999 control rooms in five forces, and launching new Domestic Abuse Protection Orders.
