HC Deb 05 November 1975 vol 899 c197W
10. Mr. Ashley

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment what accommodation he is providing for wives who suffer domestic violence.

Mr. Freeson

The Government give financial help to local authorities and housing associations to provide such accommodation, as well as to add to their general stock of housing from which they can allocate to battered wives and their children. The Government's further response will be in our reply to the Select Committee's Report.
