Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Liz Jarvis and Sarah Edwards

Wednesday 5th February 2025 Commons Chamber

[Liz Jarvis (Eastleigh) (LD)]

6. What discussions she has had with the Secretary of State for the Home Department on tackling violence against women and girls.

[Sarah Edwards (Tamworth) (Lab)]

13. What steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to help tackle violence against women and girls.

[The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department (Jess Phillips)]

I am not sure that Mr Speaker would allow me to go into quite that level of detail on the amount of discussions I have with the Home Secretary on this issue. It would take hours, because this happens every single day. This weekend, the Government announced that we will be spending £13.1 million to create a national policing centre for violence against women and girls and public protection, and that is due to launch in April.
