I ask this question against the backdrop of the Women's Aid impact report launched last week. As the Minister is aware, there were 22,341 reports of domestic abuse against women and children made in 2015, amounting to 61 per day or almost one every 20 minutes. That is just what is being reported. What measures will the Minister bring forward to tackle domestic violence and will she make a statement on the matter?
