DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES IN BASSETLAW

Early day motion 1188, tabled 13 December 2010 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 11 members.

That this House recognises the important work done by women's refuges in offering a place of safety to victims of domestic violence and their children; praises the excellent work done by volunteers and charity workers; expresses grave concern that Nottinghamshire County Council plans to cut its subsidy to these projects as part of its plans to cut 250,000 from its domestic violence services budget; and calls on the Government to consider requiring local authorities to maintain funding to such projects in support of victims of domestic violence.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, DUP 2.
