Baroness Barran (Con)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 26 November 2025

Debate

Domestic Abuse: Emergency Accommodation

Contribution

My Lords, I absolutely agree with the Minister that refuges have provided literally life-saving services. Does she agree with me that in 2025, it is not okay any more to expect women to put their lives into a black plastic bag and flee with their children to the other end of the country? That is not the solution. Can she talk about the real solution, which is to work with perpetrators of abuse and prevent this terrible crime once and for all?
