I thank the leader of the house for that response, and I very much welcome the announcement earlier this month of the appointment of two new part-time national advisers on domestic violence. I'm sure they will bring a wealth of experience to this job, but, of course, there has been a six-month hiatus and they'll have a big task now in pushing through the legislation.

I know that the UK Government's forthcoming domestic violence Bill is planning to have a domestic violence and abuse commissioner, and I wondered whether you saw there being any liaison between our advisers and the new commissioner when appointed.
