Sadiq Khan – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Communities and Local Government

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Sadiq Khan on 2016-02-02.

To ask the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, how many domestic violence refuge places there were in (a) London and (b) each London borough on (i) 1 January 2010 and (ii) 1 January 2016.

Mr Marcus Jones

Data on the number of domestic violence refuge places is not held centrally. It is for local areas to assess their needs for domestic abuse services and to make decisions on the provision of safe accommodation, including refuges and support for victims of domestic abuse.
