As @LucyRigby sets out, too many victim-survivors have been forced into debt by an abusive partner - leaving their credit scores wrecked and their options closed. No one should carry that burden - which is a call I made clear in my first PMQ. I’m proud this Government is

In the eleven years since her boys were tragically killed by their father, Claire Throssell has fought tirelessly to make sure no other child faces the same danger. We’re taking action to protect children from abusive parents. For Jack. For Paul. For every child.
