It is a pleasure to serve under your chairmanship, Mr Twigg. I find myself in the difficult position that the debate was tabled for response by the Home Office, but almost its entire thrust is legal aid, which is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice. Not a single one of the matters relating to violence against women and girls that he carefully alluded to—issues faced by victims of domestic abuse such as housing and homelessness, the family court, and issues to do with benefits and child maintenance—is the responsibility of the Home Office. The Ministry of Justice is conducting a review of the domestic abuse evidence requirements for legal aid access for private family matters to ensure that those requirements are not a barrier to accessing legal aid for victims of domestic abuse. There is a duty on every tier 1 and unitary local authority area, with funding provided by the Government, to provide accommodation and house people under part 4 of the Domestic Abuse Act. We need massive improvements in how refuge accommodation is commissioned and there needs to be clear understanding of what we mean by the term 'refuge'. The strategy commits to addressing tenancies and economic abuse for those who do not own houses but live in social housing or privately rented properties, looking at whether the threshold for evidence needed is fair and balanced. There are specific challenges in rural areas that have never been properly considered, with funding from various sources providing headcounts rather than understanding local needs.
