Domestic Violence (Hansard, 5 November 2003)

HC Deb 05 November 2003 vol 412 c678W 678W

§ Mrs. Spelman
To ask the Deputy Prime Minister if he will make a statement about the progress of the Government's domestic violence helpline. [136314]

§ Yvette Cooper
The development of the single freephone Helpline for victims of domestic violence is making good progress. The Government and Comic Relief are providing funding. However, it will not be a Government help-line as it will be owned and run by two independent charities.
A further statement will be made as soon as the launch date of the project is known.
