§ Mr. KhabraTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department when he expects to publish a response to the Law Commission's report on mental incapacity. [2138]
§ Mr. Jonathan EvansThe Government set up an interdepartmental working group, chaired by the Lord Chancellor's Department, to consider the Law Commission report on mental incapacity. The group was asked to produce an initial report for consideration by Ministers by 1 September 1995, and has met this timetable. Ministers are now considering the report of the working group together with that of the Law Commission. The Government will make an announcement of their initial view on the Law Commission's report once Ministers have had the opportunity to consider the implications of the proposals.
