Mr. Boateng

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department how many(a) people and (b) organisations have responded to the Green Paper on divorce law reform "Looking to the Future"; and what were their names.

Mr. John M. Taylor

As at 22 March, 533 responses had been received from private individuals and 103 from organisations, institutions or professional bodies.

Of these, 52 individuals and 78 others sent a written response only; 434 individuals and 15 others sent a completed questionnaire only; and 47 individuals and 10 others sent both a written response and a completed questionnaire.

Responses are still being received. Once they have all been received, I will write to the hon. Member listing those who have responded. A copy of my letter will be placed in the Library of both Houses.
