HC Deb 14 June 1990 vol 174 c320W
83. Mr. Ashley

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he has recently revised his guidance to police officers about dealing with domestic violence.

Mr. Peter Lloyd

Work on a new set of guidelines is at an advanced stage and my right hon. and learned Friend hopes to issue them within the next few weeks. The new guidelines will represent an important step in ensuring that the victims of domestic violence receive the full protection of the law to which they are entitled.
