Amendment 37 is also in the names of the noble and learned Lord, Lord Keen of Elie, and the noble Lord, Lord Sandhurst. All victims are able to request information through the victim helpline, but, in some of the most serious cases, they are able to use the more resource-intensive and costly victim contact scheme. I have written to the noble and learned Lord to reassure him that victims of coercive or controlling behaviour, stalking and harassment are already eligible for the updated scheme, regardless of sentence length.
