Baroness Maclean of Redditch corrected the Commons record on Victims of Domestic Abuse: Support
The words were spoken in the Commons on 18 October 2021. The correction was made by letter from the Under-Secretary of State for the Home Department, the hon. Member for Redditch (Rachel Maclean), and printed in Hansard's Written Corrections on 1 November 2021. The corrected text adds the figure 3.6, which the original did not give. Altogether 2 words differ between the two versions.

Anyone can be a victim of domestic abuse, regardless of their gender, age, ethnicity, religion, socioeconomic status, sexuality or background, but how many men have been subjected to domestic abuse and what is offered to them that is different from what is offered to women?
