question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent assessment she has made of the adequacy of the Metropolitan Police’s use of (a) pre-charge bail conditions, (b) arrest for breach of non-molestation orders, (c) Domestic Violence Protection Notices and (d) restraining orders in cases of domestic violence and abuse.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/09/2021 answer text <p>Domestic abuse is an abhorrent crime and this Government fully recognises the devastating impact it can have on victims. This Government is committed to taking action to keep all victims of domestic abuse safe, working in partnership with police forces across England and Wales, including the Metropolitan Police.</p><p><strong>a) Pre-charge bail</strong></p><p>The Government commissioned a public consultation in early 2020 which looked at the wider use of pre-charge bail. In their recent super-complaint response, HMICFRS considered information from 37 forces, including the Metropolitan Police, and drew broad recommendations about pre-charge bail conditions and their use. The Government is making changes to the pre-charge bail system through the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill and will consider what further analysis is needed once these reforms have been embedded.</p><p> </p><p><strong>b) Arrest for breach of Non-Molestation Orders (NMOs)</strong></p><p>In their super-complaint response, HMICFRS identified that police forces across England and Wales have a good understanding of NMOs, though there is scope for improvement of NMO usage across the criminal justice system. The Home Office does not publish arrest data for breaches of NMOs but collates this information and will further explore its quality and coverage to assess whether more detailed statistics can be published.</p><p> </p><p><strong>c) Domestic Violence Protection Notices (DVPNs)</strong></p><p>Effective use of Domestic Violence Protection Notices and Domestic Violence Protection Orders is extremely important. The Government has made a commitment in the Domestic Abuse Act 2021 to launch new Domestic Abuse Protection Notices and Orders, to support the police and courts in acting earlier and more effectively to protect victims.</p><p>HMICFRS collects data on domestic violence protection notices (DVPNs) and domestic violence protection orders (DVPOs). DVPN and DVPO data is published as part of the ONS Domestic Abuse Annual Publication. Not all forces can provide HMICFRS a full picture of their DVPN or DVPO usage, and for those that do there are issues of comparability and consistency.</p><p>The number of DVPNs and DVPOs published to year ending March 2019 and March 2018 can be found here:</p><p>2018/19 - <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ons.gov.uk%2Fpeoplepopulationandcommunity%2Fcrimeandjustice%2Fdatasets%2Fdomesticabuseandthecriminaljusticesystemappendixtables&amp;data=04%7C01%7CDanai.Pagoni%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C042e683786434841f63708d97201902d%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637666173294836496%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=eGkYXrvTz5sLXTrWk9pfgZiVHpVrapf15FBzA4uaUrw%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Domestic abuse and the criminal justice system – Appendix tables - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)(opens in a new tab)</a> , Table 2</p><p>2017/18 - <a href="https://gbr01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ons.gov.uk%2Fpeoplepopulationandcommunity%2Fcrimeandjustice%2Fdatasets%2Fdomesticabuseinenglandandwalesappendixtables&amp;data=04%7C01%7CDanai.Pagoni%40homeoffice.gov.uk%7C042e683786434841f63708d97201902d%7Cf24d93ecb2914192a08af182245945c2%7C0%7C0%7C637666173294846442%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&amp;sdata=pgOKbiWMzHmCsGkpPJyiR3%2Bxqemd04R3N8y%2BR0jJDqI%3D&amp;reserved=0" target="_blank">Domestic abuse in England and Wales - Appendix tables - Office for National Statistics (ons.gov.uk)(opens in a new tab)</a> , Table 25</p><p>You will see that the Metropolitan Police along with forces across the country are making use of DVPNs. The Metropolitan Police specifically increased the number of DVPNs granted from the year ending March 2018 to 2019.</p><p> </p><p><strong>d) Restraining orders </strong></p><p>The Home Office does not hold force-level data on restraining orders.</p><p>The effective implementation of restraining orders requires the collective cooperation of police, prosecutors, and the courts. Like all legislative measures, the Government continues to keep the law under review and where there is evidence of a significant problem, that is to say that the law is not working, then the Government will investigate any serious concerns and seek to make any change considered necessary to ensure the law works in practice.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 09/09/2021 15:10:01 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

To effectively support this, we have redesigned our governance and decided to discontinue the Serious Violence Task Force.</p><p> </p><p>In January 2020, the Prime Minister announced a new Cabinet Committee on crime and justice – the Crime and Justice Taskforce – with serious violence being a priority area of focus. The Crime and Justice Taskforce is chaired by the Prime Minister, with core membership from the Home Secretary (deputy chair); Chancellor of the Exchequer; Secretary of State for Justice; Attorney General; and the Minister for Crime and Policing. Other government departments including Department for Education and Department of Health and Social Care attend the Crime and Justice Taskforce, depending on the agenda of each meeting.</p><p> </p><p>We have also established comprehensive governance arrangements to make sure the ambitions of the Prime Minister’s Task Force are delivered on the ground – including the National Policing Board chaired by the Home Secretary.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 06/09/2021 10:11:50 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
