I thank the Minister for her answer. Minister, is there a timeline for or further information on when the prohibition of cross-examination in person in civil and family proceedings will be implemented? What work has been done to date on the Criminal Justice Inspection's (CJI) recommendation to develop the role of specialist domestic abuse prosecutors?
