Lord Tebbit

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they have yet agreed upon a definition of the word "family" as used in the consultation document Supporting Families. [HL287]

Lord Williams of Mostyn

The aim of our policies is to support families, whatever their structure.Supporting Families is intended to be inclusive: we see no need to enter into a debate over definitions.
