HC Deb 27 June 2000 vol 352 c491W
38. Ms Moran

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department when he intends to implement section 60 of the Family Law Act 1996 relating to domestic violence cases. [126374]

Jane Kennedy

Section 60 will allow third parties to apply for civil remedies in domestic violence cases on behalf of survivors of domestic violence. Those remedies are occupation orders and non-molestation orders. The implementation raises a number of questions which we are currently looking into. We will consider issuing a public consultation paper on this issue later this year.
