Theresa May asked a question [31/1/08] "what considerations the Families at Risk Review gave to measures to combat violence against women"

http://www.publications.parliament.uk/pa/cm20 ... 00065

it elicited a response from Phil Hope straight out of a "Yes Minister" script:

"The Families At Risk Review identified domestic violence as a parent-based risk factor that could impact on children in its interim analytical report published in June 2007. A literature review considered several family risk factors in detail, including domestic violence, and a focus group was held with mothers who had experienced domestic violence. This work will continue to be taken forward across Government to ensure that ‘think family’ becomes embedded across Whitehall and at a local level. Ministers and civil servants meet many people as part of the process of policy development and advice. It is not normal practice to disclose details of such meetings."
