Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much her Department has spent to support male victims of domestic abuse in each of the last three years for which figures are available.

The Government is committed to tackling all forms of domestic violence, and supporting all victims. The Government has provided over £30 million of funding for domestic and sexual abuse victims over the last three years. The majority of these services have been commissioned on the basis that the needs of all victims are met.

The Home Office has specifically funded the Men’s Advice Line, which provides support and advice to male victims of domestic violence and the national lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender domestic abuse helpline over the last three years.
