Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she plans to introduce a firewall to prevent data sharing between public services and immigration enforcement to help encourage migrants to report domestic abuse through her forthcoming Violence Against Women and Girls Strategy.

This Government is committed to ensuring that all victims of domestic abuse are able to report to the police. As outlined in the Immigration White Paper, we recognise the specific barriers migrant victims can face and we will strengthen the protections in place to support them.

We will publish a new strategy on tackling Violence Against Women and Girls in the coming weeks.
