HC Deb 03 December 1979 vol 975 c7W
Mr. Peter Griffiths

asked the Prime Minister (1) if she will designate a Minister to be specifically responsible for the scrutiny of proposed legislation, with a view to advising her on its effects on the quality and stability of family life;

(2) what administrative arrangements she has made for the monitoring and evaluation of the overall effects of legislation on the quality and stability of family life.

The Prime Minister

No special administrative arrangements have been made. Ministers collectively and individually have the quality and stability of family life in mind when dealing with all relevant issues whether or not they involve legislation; and I do not think that a special Minister would be able to improve on this.

Forward to
