Bishop Rachel successfully moves amendment 70 in Domestic Abuse Bill

Bishop Rachel has successfully moved amendment 70 to the Domestic Abuse Bill. She divided the House: those in content were 318, not content 269.

She said, “I’m grateful for the support for this Amendment, which aims to provide migrant victims of abuse with temporary leave to remain, and access to public funds, for a period of no less than six months. So that they can access support services while they flee abuse and apply to resolve their immigration status.”
