To ask the Deputy Prime Minister what action his Department is taking to help victims of domestic violence. [81539]

Mrs. Roche

Tackling domestic violence is a major priority. We have improved access to housing for women fleeing violence and made their support a priority for the new Supporting People programme. We will shortly publish new, practical guidance to local authorities on preparing for Supporting People, and are putting in place plans for further action, which will be announced shortly.
