Question

To ask His Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answers by Lord Sharpe of Epsom on 4 April (HL6672 and HL6673), and further to the remarks by Lord Sharpe of Epsom on 12 July (HL Deb cols 1727–1730), whether they have now published (1) their response to the Domestic Abuse Commissioner’s report Safety before status: the solutions, published on 13 December 2022, (2) their decision on the reservation on Article 59 of the Istanbul Convention, and (3) the migrant victims’ protocol.

Answer

The Government’s response to the Domestic Abuse Commissioner’s report Safety Before Status: The Solutions was published in July 2023 and can be found at Gov.UK.

The reservation on Article 59 of the Istanbul Convention will be kept under review as policies which address support for migrant victims of domestic abuse develop. Official advice will be provided to Ministers on the reservation, in due course.

The Migrant Victims Protocol is in the final stages of development. The Department expects this to be published in early 2024.
