What estimate she has made of the cost to the public purse of providing protection and support during Donald Trump's visit to Scotland.

Reply

We were delighted to welcome the President to the UK earlier this year. The visit supported our deep and enduring alliance with the United States, which is vital for both our economic and security interests.As is the case for many visits from high profile individuals, the President’s visit was in part funded by the taxpayer.It is right that the Government and policing partners take appropriate steps to ensure the safety of foreign dignitaries when on UK soil.

What steps the Government is taking to help tackle post-separation economic abuse.

Reply

I recognise the devastating impact financial and economic abuse can have on victims, even after they have separated from an abusive partner. We continue to work closely with and fund Surviving Economic Abuse (SEA), which supports victims of economic and financial abuse - offering specialist advice to victims via the Financial Support Line in partnership with Money Advice Plus, training financial services providers, and rolling out the Economic Abuse Evidence Form to ensure victims only have to tell their story once. We are committed to working across Government, and with stakeholders, to prevent economic abuse and improve our response to it when it does arise as part of the wider mission to halve VAWG within a decade.
