She thanks her hon. Friend for recognising problems around threats to publish intimate images and emphasises the need for an all-encompassing law in this area.

She also supports Lords amendment 41, which guarantees victims of domestic abuse a route towards indefinite leave to remain and access to vital services, emphasising the moral and international responsibilities of ensuring equal protection regardless of migrant status.

I support the Bill's progress but believe it can still be strengthened. I advocate for Lords amendment 42, which proposes monitoring serious and serial perpetrators of domestic abuse and stalking. The current Government’s alternative does not go far enough in providing protection from repeat offenders.

I support Lords amendment 35, recognising the psychological impact of threatening to share intimate images. The provision will help victims who face dishonour threats in communities where honour plays a significant role.

She also pays tribute to campaigners such as Laura Richards who have fought for legislation covering monitoring arrangements for serial abusers.
