Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to the report entitled Domestic Homicides and Suspected Victim Suicides 2021-2022 Year 2 Report, published in December 2022, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of the recommendations of that report that relate to her Department.
Answered by Sarah Dines
The Home Office have continued to build our evidence base on domestic homicides and suicides linked to domestic abuse through funding the National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC), College of Policing and Vulnerability and Knowledge Practice Programme (VKPP) Domestic Homicide Project. The Home Office fully supports the recommendations made in the project’s second year report. The recommendations for the Home Office reflect our own priorities to implement Domestic Homicide Review reform, as committed to in the Tackling Domestic Abuse Plan. We will work with the NPCC and VKPP Domestic Homicide Project team to monitor the implementation of the recommendations made within the report.
In October the College of Policing published a new homicide prevention framework for forces and policing partners to reduce crimes that can lead to homicide. This homicide prevention framework brings together the best available evidence to support police forces to analyse and understand their crime problems and drivers of homicide, to develop and implement effective interventions and tactics, and to identify where partnership support is needed. It has been developed jointly with the NPCC and His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) as part of the national homicide prevention strategy.

Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Government plans to seek a derogation to its legal obligations to help tackle the number of people entering the UK in breach of immigration laws from safe countries.
Answered by Robert Jenrick - Shadow Secretary of State for Justice
This Government is committed to ensuring that the UK has control of its own borders. This means continuing to tackle the people smugglers who put the lives of men, women and children in danger by facilitating their illegal entry into the UK by perilous and potentially fatal means.
As my Rt Hon. friend the Home Secretary has previously set out, in developing any necessary new legislation or other measures to address this issue we will always work within the bounds of international law
