§ Fiona MactaggartTo ask the Solicitor-General if she will report on recent progress with prosecuting perpetrators of domestic violence. [14672]
§ The Solicitor-GeneralThere is considerable and encouraging progress in prosecuting crimes of domestic violence. For the first time, next week the CPS will be issuing guidance to Crown prosecutors on domestic violence. That guidance will be published, and that will be the first time that any CPS guidance has been published. To support our prosecutors to do their work as well as possible, there will be a national network of domestic violence prosecutors. A new ministerial committee on domestic violence will co-ordinate work across Government.
