Written Question
Domestic Abuse Bill
Tuesday 30th March 2021

Asked by: Lord Brooke of Alverthorpe (Labour - Life peer)

Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the additional resources required to implement the provisions of the Domestic Violence Bill; and by when they expect to provide those resources.

Answered by Baroness Williams of Trafford - Shadow Chief Whip (Lords)

The Department is currently focused on securing the successful passage of the landmark domestic abuse bill. The bill will achieve better support and protection for victims of domestic abuse and their children and bring more perpetrators to justice.

We have acquired additional resource to begin bill implementation planning. Whilst it is anticipated that further resource will be needed after Royal Assent, our final assessment on requirements will be made once debate on the bill has been completed.
