Description:

Stalking victims will get "peace of mind" by being told the identity of their abusers under new government proposals, the minister for safeguarding has said.

Jess Phillips said the proposed "right to know" statutory guidance aims to tell victims the identity of their abuser at the earliest opportunity.

"It's the most important thing," she said.

"Currently victims might not be told who their stalker is - leaving them potentially walking past them on street without them knowing," she told the Today programme.
