This question was answered on 11th August 2020
So-called honour-based abuse is unacceptable and the Government is committed to tackling it, through, for example, part-funding the national “honour”-based abuse helpline and working closely with the police and charities.
Statistics on Honour based Abuse have been collected by the Home Office from police forces in England and Wales since April 2019. The data for 2019-20 is expected to be published as official statistics by autumn 2020.
