§ Dr. IddonTo ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department when he proposes to publish the results of his consultation on the Green Paper "Who Decides?", published on 10 September 1997. [89179]
§ Mr. VazThe Government published the consultation paper "Who Decides?" in December 1997 about the recommendations of the Law Commission on decision-making for mentally incapacitated adults. We wish to give very careful consideration to all the issues involved before deciding the way forward. No decisions have yet been taken on whether there should be legislation and, if so, when it should be introduced.
