9 Sept 2025Justice Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 1280)

Thank you so much for your answers so far. I would love to ask a little bit about how and to what extent victims and witnesses are informed about some of the evidence around the use of section 28 and special measures more generally.

I will move on to the next question on the sentencing Bill, whose second reading is next week, and VAWG-related issues in relation to the Bill. How will the Bill’s proposal for a presumption to suspend short custodial sentences of 12 months or less work in relation to VAWG offences?

One of the things in the Bill, section 56A on finding of domestic abuse, creating a specific identifier—that I have campaigned a lot for and I am very grateful that you have done lots of work on working with the sector as well—can help with that identification piece. However, something that is not in that Bill is speci

You gave a sense of when it was originally going to be published, based on the work that you thought it was going to take when originally setting the ambition. In light of the ambition being so big and wanting to get it right, what is the next ballpark for when you intend to publish it?

Section 56A will in and of itself allow the exclusions that you have spoken about if the Government so wanted?

Moving on, we have had an announcement recently on new restriction zones, which is welcomed by lots of the sector as a move that will better protect victims and survivors.
