I now turn to a more serious issue: domestic abuse and domestic violence. One of the most challenging cases that I have picked up as a Member of Parliament since last July is that of my constituent Caitlin, whose situation I have raised on the Floor of the House previously. Caitlin’s partner was arrested for coercive control less than a week after she signed a tenancy agreement with him. Caitlin has never lived in the property that they rented together, but has had to pay thousands of pounds of rent on that property, because her mother is the guarantor and he refuses to pay rent on it.
