Part of Domestic Violence, Crime and Victims Bill [Lords] – in a Public Bill Committee at 3:45 pm on 6 July 2004.
I understand my hon. Friend's point. I simply say that it should be the objective and aspiration of the Government and all parties to ensure that, where a resident parent has concerns about their own safety or that of their child, they have the confidence to seek protection through the family justice system, and the courts should be able to provide that protection.
