HC Deb 05 May 1975 vol 891 cc321-2W
Mr. Greville Janner

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will appoint a departmental committee to review family law in general and the law relating to children in particular.

Mr. Alexander W. Lyon

No. The Law Commission has considered and is considering various aspects of family law. The operation of the Children and Young Persons Act 1969 is currently under review and the Children Bill now before the House includes substantial changes in the law relating to the adoption, custody and general protection of children.
