asked the Secretary of State for Scotland if he is considering any new measures to deal with the problem of domestic violence in the light of the report by the Women's National Commission entitled "Violence Against Women"; and if he will make a statement on his consideration of measures affecting the victims of %iolence in general, particularly those who do not have orders under the Matrimonial Homes Act.
