Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of extending the Destitute Domestic Violence Concession to include all migrant survivors of domestic abuse.

Tackling violence against women and girls is a top priority for this government and our mission is to halve levels of violence against women and girls within a decade.

We are reviewing all the issues impacting migrant victims of domestic abuse including the scope and operation of both the Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession (formerly the Destitution Domestic Violence Concession) and the provisions of Appendix Victim of Domestic Abuse.

We will communicate the outcome of these reviews as soon as is practicable.
