Labour — Birmingham Yardley

Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 December 2025

Debate

Violence against Women and Girls Strategy

Contribution

The hon. Lady will have to wait to see what the strategy says. What I can say is that, because we were not waiting for the strategy, the Government announced a £53 million investment in schemes to deal with the most violent perpetrators—those most responsible for, as she says, repeat offending. We have already also said that it will end the presumption of contact and unfettered access. We did not need to wait for the piece of paper; we are cracking on.
