Bill completes second reading in the House of Keys
New laws could encourage more victims of domestic abuse to come forward.
That's the hope of political member for home affairs Dr Alex Allinson as the Domestic Abuse Bill passed its second reading in the House of Keys this morning.
The proposals include giving police the power to remove those accused of abusing their partner from a shared home, giving the victim time to consider whether they want to press charges.
Dr Allinson says it's important to make sure the victim feels protected:
