Labour — Birmingham Yardley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 February 2026

Debate

Domestic Violence: Victim Support

Contribution

While these are questions to the Home Office, and people will rightly bring questions about policing across the country, only 10% of domestic abuse victims will ever see the inside of a police station or interact with policing, so every other element of our system—including the family courts, the family justice system and our civil courts—absolutely has to play a part. Those things are a fundamental part of the violence against women and girls strategy.
