To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, if he will remove the reservation on Article 59 of the Istanbul Convention.
Laura Farris
Parliamentary Under Secretary of State (Ministry of Justice and Home Office)
The reservation on Article 59 will be kept in place at this time but kept under review as the policies which address support for migrant victims of domestic abuse develop.
We continue to be committed to supporting migrant victims of domestic abuse. This includes the recently expanded Migrant Victims of Domestic Abuse Concession, the immediate settlement provisions under Appendix Victim of Domestic Abuse and the Support for Migrant Victims Scheme.
