About this bill
Justice Committee considers domestic violence disclosure scheme proposal
Four MPs—Tone Wilhelmsen Trøen, Mahmoud Farahmand, Haagen Poppe, and Margret Hagerup—proposed introducing an information-sharing scheme modelled on Clare's Law in Britain, allowing individuals to request police disclosure of a partner's previous convictions for intimate partner violence. The Standing Committee on Justice split along party lines: Labour, Centre, and Green Party members recommended prioritizing existing measures instead, while Conservative and Christian Democratic members backed the proposal. The committee voted against adopting the original bill.
