Laura's question to Justice Minister on Domestic Abuse

  • Tweet
Tuesday, 8 December, 2020
Justice Questions

I have spoken many times before about my desire to ensure victims of sexual violence and domestic abuse have both the support they need, but also can rely on a justice system that will protect them and punish those who are guilty.

Today I asked the Justice Minister for reassurance that despite the backlog of court cases which have accumulated as a result of the covid-19 outbreak, focus will be placed on accelerating cases of domestic abuse and sexual violence given that we know more cases of this type get dropped the longer the process takes.

I am delighted he has agreed to meet with myself and Matthew Scott (Kent's Police and Crime Commissioner), to discuss what more we can do to ensure domestic abuse crimes are not overlooked.
