Part of Justice – in the House of Commons at on 17 March 2026.
Alex Davies-Jones
The Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Justice
The funding of £6 million over two years will enable us to introduce independent legal advisers for all adult rape victims, and that is alongside the support package we are introducing in our courts system. We are expanding on Operation Soteria to ensure that rape victims get the support they need. The investment in support services is only one part of a much bigger package to ensure that victims are put back at the heart of the justice system.
