DHA Minister hopes to see it happen within this administration
The Home Affairs Minister says domestic abuse will be a crime on the Island by the autumn.
The Domestic Abuse Act was first introduced in the House of Keys in October 2019, and was eventually given Royal Assent a year later.
But it's still awaiting enabling legislation, which would allow an offender to be arrested or charged with it.
Graham Cregeen says he's keen for the Act to be fully operational by the next election, which is in September:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
MHK 'frustrated' at pace of progress over cigarettes and vaping products
