DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SERVICES IN BASSETLAW

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.
