HC Deb 07 November 1996 vol 284 c611W
Mr. Byers

To ask the Parliamentary Secretary, Lord Chancellor's Department what plans he has to extend the period in which actions can be brought under civil law by victims of child sex abuse. [2980]

Mr. Streeter

The Law Commission has undertaken a comprehensive review of the law of limitation periods with a view to its simplification and rationalisation, and the Government will consider the recommendations made when the Law Commission completes its report. We do not plan to modify the law relating to limitation of actions before then.
