Domestic abuse is a devastating crime and the Government is committed to doing everything we can to tackle it.

We will commence the offence of threatening with an offensive weapon in private, alongside a number of other measures in the Act, as soon

I congratulate my hon.

The right hon.

I am extremely grateful to my hon. Friend, who does so much to represent the interests of her constituents in this regard.

This is an emerging crime type. The evilness of the people who conduct abuse online is truly shocking to behold.

The police and crime commissioner obviously sets the priorities for the force, so I would go to them before going to the chief constable.

The Home Office works with other Departments because these crimes draw on so many facets of public life.

I thank the hon. Lady for her response and questions.

That is an area in which this country genuinely leads the world.
