Minister for Equalities Caroline Dinenage told her: “That is a very important question, and something we take very seriously. It is important we make every effort to identify the perpetrators, but we are also determined to ensure anyone facing the threat of domestic violence has somewhere to turn, which is why we are working closely across the Government.”
