Home affairs minister issues bill pledge, plans refuge
The Department of Home Affairs says it's looking to do more to tackle domestic abuse.
Home Affairs Minister Bill Malarkey has promised the first reading of a new bill designed to better deal with such crimes will take place in October or November.
Speaking alongside Chief Constable Gary Roberts on Manx Radio's Perspective programme earlier, Mr Malarkey said he's also looking to set up a new facility:
Police 'making enquiries' after report woman was cornered in pub toilet
Determining whether offence has been committedÂ
Businessman calls for inquiry after court critiques police conduct
Hopes to address 'failings regarding the warrant and investigation'
Farming community 'such an important aspect of Island life'
Lieutenant Governor highlights value of agriculture and country life on the Isle of Man
Loganair cabin crew accept revised pay offer
New deal ensures staff, including those based on the Isle of Man, won't be taking strike action
