HC Deb 20 November 1986 vol 105 c263W
78. Mr. Nicholas Baker

asked the Attorney-General what response he has received to his proposals for a system of family courts.

The Attorney-General

My hon. Friend is probably referring to the consultation paper prepared by the interdepartmental committee of officials established by the Lord Chancellor and the Home Secretary to examine the feasibility of a unified court with exclusive jurisdiction in family matters. The Lord Chancellor's Department has received 169 responses to that paper and these are now being analysed.
