The shadow minister wants the government to ensure every incident gets a police response after calls for help from two women murdered in Solihull went unanswered.
, and the Independent Office for Police Conduct said West Midlands Police let chances to"take positive action" slip - with calls to the force on the night of their killing going unanswered.
But the shadow minister for domestic violence and safeguarding said that since the horrific case,"far from improving, domestic abuse incidents [in the UK] have risen and prosecutions have fallen". Ms Phillips told MPs:"This is not merely a historic case. Today and every day women will call the police and no-one will come."
She called on the government to"commit that every single domestic abuse incident will receive a police response". Home Office minister Sarah Dines said the case of the two women was"tragic" and tackling domestic abuse was an"absolute priority" for the government.
