Question to the Northern Ireland Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent discussions he has had with Cabinet colleagues on tackling violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland.

I speak regularly to colleagues across this House, across Government and across the Northern Ireland Executive, raising the issue of violence against women and girls in Northern Ireland.

Making progress on this matters enormously to me and to Government. People are rightly passionate about rising to this challenge.

I am proud of the steps we have taken but know that there is far more to do. Just this week, I attended the Violence Against Women and Girls Working Ministerial Group to ensure we can make further progress in Northern Ireland and right across the United Kingdom.
