To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department what guidelines he issues to local authorities regarding (a) the content and (b) the frequency of review of domestic violence policy at local authority level. [106254]

I have not issued guidelines to local authorities on domestic violence policy at local authority level. I have, however, announced that £14 million will be made available over the next three years to assist with the development of local responses to domestic violence, and that the Home Office will be working with the Local Government Authority (LGA) to fund a post to support this work.
