Domestic Abuse

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps the Home Office is taking in response to the Domestic Abuse Commissioner’s briefing Shifting the Scales of Justice, published in September, particularly in relation to the call for the immediate institution of a data-sharing firewall between the police and immigration enforcement.

Answer

We look forward to seeing the final ‘Shifting the Scales of Justice’ report when it is laid in Parliament. The Government will respond in full to the report’s recommendations within 56 days, as per the Domestic Abuse Act of 2021.

With regards to data-sharing between police and immigration enforcement, we are committed to finding a solution that will encourage migrant victims and give them confidence to come forward.
