Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the timetable is for his next steps in bringing forward a draft Domestic Abuse Bill.
On 8 March we launched a 12 week public consultation on proposals for a landmark domestic abuse Bill and a supporting package of practical action to transform the response to domestic abuse. The consultation closed on 31 May. Over 3,200 responses to the consultation were received. The responses to the consultation are being considered and a draft Bill will be published later this session.
