"I'm incredibly proud to support the Government's work in supporting victims of domestic abuse ensuring that they get the support that the desperately need.
This follows on from the brilliant work the Government has done in passing the Domestic Abuse Bill which will help break the cycle of abuse for so many people.
This is a cause that is close to my heart and and I have regular contact with the police and local authorities on the matter."
This announcement follows the Government's landmark Domestic Abuse Bill which will help ensure that those who suffer from domestic abuse are able to break the cycle of abuse and get on with their lives.
