§ Lady HermonTo ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland when the Office of Law Reform will complete its analysis of the responses to the public consultation on 'Physical Punishment in the Home-Thinking About the Issues, Looking at the Evidence'. [90456]
§ Mr. PearsonThe consultation process, the largest the Office of Law Reform has undertaken, drew a wealth of responses. In all, some 1,700 people expressed their views in one way or another. Analysing these has taken some time, but the Office is now in the later stages of preparing a report on the consultation process containing this analysis.
