HC Deb 22 June 1999 vol 333 c346W
Jackie Ballard

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will list the women's organisations which have been consulted over proposed legislation by his Department during this session; and if their responses have been published. [87190]

Mr. Boateng

The Home Office consults regularly with a wide range of organisations on both proposed changes to legislation and the development of policy. It also issues public consultation documents on which both organisations and individuals are invited to comment. One such document is "Supporting Families" and, on 8 June, I published details of the responses to it.
