HC Deb 12 May 1989 vol 152 cc546-7W
Mr. Ashley

To ask the Attorney-General if he will set up a study of the operation of the civil procedures related to domestic violence.

The Attorney-General

No. The Law Commission is carrying out a review of the courts' civil jurisdiction relating to domestic violence, other molestation and rights of occupation of the home. This review will examine both important areas of procedure and the remedies available. The commission hopes to issue a discussion paper later this year.
